This book collects the columns which baseball legend Jackie Robinson wrote for the New York Post and the New York Amsterdam News, as well as excerpts of letters between Robinson and politicians such as Lyndon Johnson and John F. Kennedy. The brevity of the columns and Robinson's vivid imagery and compelling voice make this an absorbing and very moving read.
