EDUCATOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Join the Jackie Robinson Museum and Brooklyn Public Library’s Center for Brooklyn History for a special two-part professional learning opportunity that will introduce Jackie Robinson as an athlete, activist, citizen, businessman, and family man and explore Robinson’s legacy as a champion for equality, on and off the field.
