Part of the "Sports in America Series," this video shares the story of the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Jackie Robinson was the first African American to play Major League Baseball. He once said that, "life is not important except in the impact it has on the lives of other people" and after his baseball career ended, he dedicated himself to social change in America. To continue his legacy, his family created the Jackie Robinson foundation, which creates minority scholarships for young people, the RBI program for kids, and baseball academies. (Spanish Subtitles)
