According to Martin Luther King, Jr., Jackie Robinson was "a
sit-inner before the sit-ins, a freedom rider before the Freedom
Rides." According to Hank Aaron, Robinson was a leader of the Black
Power movement before there was a Black Power movement. According
to his wife, Rachel Robinson, he was always Jack, not Jackie - the
diminutive form of his name bestowed on him in college by white
sports writers. From two prominent Robinson scholars comes this
electrifying biography that recovers the real person behind the
legend, reanimating this famed figure's legacy for new generations,
widening our focus from the sportsman to the man as a whole and
deepening our appreciation for his achievements on the playing
field in the process.
