Explore Jackie Robinson’s core leadership traits and how he used them on and off the baseball field in this interactive, Museum Educator-led program. Learn about Robinson’s experiences as a child in Pasadena, a college athlete and military man, the first African American in modern Major League Baseball, and an activist—to explore how he was a pioneer in the fight for equal civil rights. Get inspired and set a goal for how you will speak out as changemakers today.

With its focus on exploring Jackie Robinson’s actions in the context of US history and empowering students as leaders today, the program complements curricula in History & Social Studies, ELA, and Social Emotional Learning.
