ESPN to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking Major League Baseball's color barrier with a month of special programming

The Hollywood Reporter

The Jackie 75 initiative includes releasing a short video story every day through April 15, featuring interviews with athletes and other public figures discussing the legacy of the late Jackie Robinson and his wife, Rachel Robinson, who turns 100 in July. “It is a natural opportunity I believe to not only recognize his legacy but to educate those who may not be as familiar as they should be with the impact he had on our way of life,” David Roberts, ESPN’s head of NBA & studio production, tells The Hollywood Reporter.
