Jack Roosevelt Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, GA.
I was just reminded that today is Jackie Robinson's birthday and I have the utmost respect for that man.
One cannot overstate Jackie's important role in changing attitudes about race in America, which he did largely through baseball.
So today, on the anniversary of Jackie's birth we salute an American Hero.
Well done, Jackie. Be Thou At Peace. 🙏
