Listen Later

In this 1960 radio segment, Jackie Robinson, the trailblazing figure who broke Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, addresses listener questions in a "Mail Bag" format. By 1960, Robinson had retired from baseball for three years but remained an influential voice in both the sports world and the broader civil rights movement. His participation in radio shows like this one highlights his continued commitment to engaging with fans and discussing critical issues of the day, both on and off the field.

During this period, Robinson was deeply involved in activism and public service, using his platform to advocate for racial equality and economic justice. This radio segment provides a unique opportunity to hear Robinson's unfiltered thoughts on a range of topics, reflecting his ongoing impact on American society even after his playing days were over. The conversation gives listeners insight into the challenges Robinson faced and the legacy he was building as a pioneering figure in sports and civil rights.
