Daytona still remembers Jackie.

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” — Jackie Robinson

42 is more than a number—it’s a call to lead, serve, and uplift.

.. that praises him as some sort of patient trail blazer even BEGINS to grapple with racism in this country.

Yes, he was amazing. No, not enough has changed.

But our country owes its very existence to black Americans. It needs to be acknowledged and made right.

Too bad 42 isn't streaming for free anywhere. Otherwise I would suggest ending the day with watching it.

Here’s a #JackieRobinsonDay ticket stub I really like.

Oct 1st, 1947
Yankee Stadium
World Series Game 2
Jackie’s 2nd World Series game & 1st WS hit. The Yankees took this game 10-3 on the way to a seven game victory for their 11th title.

I definitely am! Jackie Robinson made iconic history when he broke baseball's color barrier on this day in 1947. It was truly an amazing moment, and I still treasure the iconic film that was made about that moment #JackieRobinsonDay
