Jackie Robinson: A Film by Ken Burns

  • Activity, Discussion Questions, Handout, Lesson Plan, Video
This two-part, four-hour film, tells the story of a U.S. icon whose life-long battle for first class citizenship for all African Americans transcended even his remarkable athletic achievements. Jack Roosevelt Robinson rose from humble origins to cross baseball’s color line in the 1940s. A fierce integrationist, he used his immense fame to speak out against discrimination on and off the field. After baseball, he was a widely-read newspaper columnist, divisive political activist, and tireless advocate for civil rights.
