From the creator:
Jackie Robinson's breaking of baseball's color barrier helped get the ball rolling on social progress and the civil rights movement. On top of Jackie's impact, Monte Irvin's story is also incredibly interesting on how he affected the landscape of the Negro Leagues and MLB! Also, we delve into the effects of black players heading to MLB from the Negro Leagues.
