Original artwork description:
Painting of Jackie Robinson, born on Jan 31, 1919, in Cairo, GA, was a groundbreaking American baseball player who made history as the first African American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the modern era. He broke the color barrier on Apr 15, 1947, when he debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers, ending over 60 years of racial segregation in the sport.
Robinson was an exceptional athlete, excelling in multiple sports during his college years at UCLA, where he became the first athlete to earn varsity letters in four sports: baseball, basketball, football, and track. His professional career spanned from 1947 to 1956,
In recognition of his contributions, MLB retired his jersey number, 42, across all teams in 1997, and April 15 is celebrated annually as Jackie Robinson Day.
Robinson's legacy continues to inspire generations, symbolizing courage and the fight against racial injustice in sports and society
