“Despite the significant gains of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, the challenge to white supremacy in America remains incomplete, unfinished. That is why today, the life & work, the achievements and suffering, of Jackie Robinson continue to speak to us with such power & poignancy”-Dr Cornel West
