After Jackie Pride, Prejudice, and Baseball's Forgotten Heroes an Oral History

To be published on the 60th anniversary of the breaking of the color barrier in baseball, AfterJackie will explore Jackie Robinson?'s immense impact on American life and culture during a transformative time in our history. What will make After Jackie special is that the storywill be told through the voices of men and women who witnessed?and participated in?Robinson?'s revolution. The author?'s goal is to interview in depth each of the 121 still-living former major league baseball players of African-American descent who followed the path that Jackie blazed. But Robinson?'s impact went far beyond baseball?his first at-bat in a major league uniform was, in fact, the first step in the Civil Rights Movement?so the author will also tap the memories of other Americans, from Walter Cronkite to Coretta Scott King to Muhammad Ali to Jimmy Carter, who recall the day that Jackie Robinson made history.Fussman, Cal is the author of 'After Jackie Pride, Prejudice, and Baseball's Forgotten Heroes an Oral History', published 2007 under ISBN 9781933060187 and ISBN 1933060182.
