Donate to the NLBM Jackie Robinson put a whole nation on his back when he broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. Following his retirement in 1957, Jackie often appeared with Martin Luther King Jr. at rallies, fundraising events, and demonstrations... using his celebrity to garner support for the civil rights movement. Each year, baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day on April 15th, the same date Jackie debuted with the Dodgers on Opening Day in 1947. In 2020, due to the COVID-altered season, Jackie is honored on August 28th. This is the same day that 14-year old Emmett Louis Till was lynched to death in Mississippi in 1955... and also the same day that MLK gave his "I have a dream" speech in 1963. With your purchase of this card, a donation of $150 will be made in collaboration with DailyKarma* to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. *DailyKarma's automated donations are scheduled to occur on the 2nd day of each month.
