From the Publisher:
To commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the breaking of baseball's color barrier, an exploration of Jackie Robinson’s impact and legacy by the people whose lives were transformed by his courage
When Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, he forever changed the game of baseball - and America itself. In After Jackie, author Cal Fussman traces Robinson's enormous legacy in sports, politics, and the civil rights movement through the men (and women) who came after him. With moving and intimate interviews of more than one hundred former major league players of African-American descent, as well as such luminaries as Jimmy Carter, Muhammad Ali, and Walter Cronkite, among others, After Jackie recalls the day one man altered history for so many, and the history that followed.
