Summary

"There are defining moments in the life of a nation when a single individual can shape events for generations to come. For America, the spring of 1947 was such a moment, and Jackie Robinson was the man who made the difference." With these words, President Clinton contributed to Long Island University's three-day celebration of that momentous event in American history when Robinson became the first African-American to play major league baseball. This new book includes presentations from that celebration, specially chosen for their fresh perspectives and illuminating insights
