Jackie Robinson turned a mighty tide

On April 15, 1947 Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager, Branch Rickey, helped turned the tide of history and social relations through sports in the United States and the world beyond. Jack Robinson was a profile in courage who gave more than he ever received - which doesn't mean he was ever safe at home.
