[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 5433765, member: 52145"] Jackie Robinson died this day 1972.......unbelievable to me 50 years ago. I read his biography a couple years ago. An incredible courageous man. He had his flaws as all of us do but he was the right man at the right time to make (some) change in our country. My children have a hard time believing the Jim Crow laws and the way things used to be. When they see a movie like "Green Book " they ask if that was true. Yes. and then I tell them the story about their grandfather who was a dark skinned Sicilian who had to sit in the back of the bus down in Georgia. [/QUOTE]
