Jackie Robinson : an intimate portrait / by Rachel Robinson with Lee Daniels ; foreword by Roger Wilkins. by Robinson, Rachel, 1922- Abrams, 2014. Call #: 796.357092 R662j Subjects Robinson, Jackie, 1919-1972.   Brooklyn Dodgers (Baseball team) -- History.   Montreal Royals (Baseball team) -- History.   Baseball players -- United States -- Biography.   Baseball players, Black -- United States -- Biography. ISBN:  9781419712142 (hc.) 1419712144 (hc.) Description:  240 p. : ill. ; 29 cm. Notes:  Originally published: 1996. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "In the spring of 1947, Jackie Robinson played his first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking down baseball's decades-old color line and changing the face of the game forever. Now, in this intimate portrait, Robinson's widow, Rachel, tells her husband's story--and that of her life with him--from her unique perspective. But the tale of Jackie Robinson doesn't begin and end with baseball. It includes family, friends, and--after retirement--the business world and the civil rights movement. Confronted by challenges at every turn, together the Robinsons struggled to live to the fullest in every way. Rachel Robinson describes the trials the family faced as carefully as she relates her husband's thrilling triumphs on the diamond. With a compelling foreword by noted historian Roger Wilkins and epilogues by the Robinsons' two living children, Jackie Robinson: An Intimate Portrait presents a new and revealing picture of a man who is a hero to so many--black and white, old and young, male and female."--From publisher.
