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.
