Jackie Robinson's Enduring Legacy: Civil Rights, Baseball, and the Future of DEI
from Sports Business Podcast with Prof. C - Fordham Gabelli School of Business · host Mark Conrad, Gabelli School of Business, Fordham University
On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and became the first African American athlete in modern times to play for a major league baseball team. When he donned number 42 for the Brooklyn Dodgers, he became a civil rights icon who endured a great deal of abuse and whose patience was tested in every game during the first few seasons he played. After he retired from baseball, Robinson became more active in the civil rights movement. What would he think of the Trump Administration's policy scrapping DEI initiatives if he was alive today? Tune in to this episode of the Sports Business Podcast with Prof. C. to find out. Host: Mark Conrad Producer: Victoria Ilano Additional Production: Jeffrey Haynes Artwork: Pamela V.
