EXPANDING THE LEGACY WITH
            THE JACKIE ROBINSON MUSEUM


            JRF Scholars are the living legacies of an American hero. The Foundation is poised to expand this rich legacy by
            establishing a fixed tribute to educate the general public about Jackie Robinson and the values that defined him.

            Opening this winter, the JACKIE ROBINSON MUSEUM will depict Robinson’s heroic crusade that began in the
            confines of Ebbets Field and ultimately impacted our entire social landscape.


            The Museum will chronicle Robinson’s achievements juxtaposed against the backdrop of United States history from
            his birth in 1919 to the present. It will feature innovative educational programming and serve as a venue for vibrant
            dialogue on critical social issues that continue to challenge our country.
