Jackie Robinson's Mural by @Fluke.Art for Mural Festival 2017. Jack Roosevelt Robinson, born January 31, 1919, and passed away on October 24, 1972, was a trailblazing American professional baseball player who paved the way for African Americans to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) during the modern era. Robinson shattered the baseball color line when he took his first step onto the field at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. This historic moment marked the end of racial segregation in professional baseball that had relegated talented black players to the Negro leagues since the late 1880s. A legendary player and civil rights icon, Robinson was honored with induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, a testament to his groundbreaking legacy.
