Join a museum educator for a guided, interactive museum tour introducing participants to American icon Jackie Robinson through rare artifacts, dynamic interactive media, and rich historical content. Through the tour and small-group scavenger hunt activity, participants will learn about Jackie Robinson as an athlete, activist, family man, and more. Wrap up with an optional “add-on” art activity.
