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.
