Description
Jackie Robinson, a great pioneer in the fight against racism. Glory unto God for the power He gave to this amazing man and athlete.
Excerpt from a conversation Martin Luther King, Jr had with Dodgers pitcher Don Newcombe:
"Jackie was the only black man that I knew of at that time who could have done the job that he did -- and do it with the pride that he did it," former teammate Don Newcombe said in Los Angeles. "That's why he was so respected. Martin Luther King came to my house one night for dinner 28 days before he died in Memphis. He said to me: `Don, I want you and Jackie and Roy Campanella and Larry Doby to know that without you, I would never have made it as successfully as I have in civil rights if it were not for what you men did on the baseball field.' I said: `Martin, you're kidding.' He said: `No, I'm not, and I want you to call Jackie tomorrow morning and tell him what I said."
