Description:Major League Baseball educational consultant Sharon Robinson, daughter of the late Jackie Robinson, and President of the Pacific Coast League Branch B. Rickey III, grandson of the late Branch Rickey, address the cultural legacies of Robinson and Rickey in a forum moderated by Sports Illustrated senior editor Kostya Kennedy.

In breaking the Major League Baseball racial barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, Jackie Robinson was instrumental to bringing an end to segregation in professional baseball. Branch Rickey was the general manager of the Dodgers who originally recruited and signed Robinson to the major leagues.
