Was Jackie Robinson Exceptional?

from Let's Talk: Conversations on Race Hosted by Nicole Doyley

The Myth of the "Exceptional Negro" goes something like this: "Most Black people are subpar, but every once in a while, one rises up and does something great." This is of course a myth. Black excellence has always been there, and it will flourish more, as more opportunity opens up.
