In a continued celebration of Black History Month, our first pick this week is Jackie Robinson.
Jack Roosevelt Robinson rose from humble origins to cross baseball’s color line and become one of the most beloved men in America. A fierce integrationist, Robinson used his immense fame to speak out against the discrimination he saw on and off the field, angering fans, the press, and even teammates who had once celebrated him for turning the other cheek.
Don’t miss Whitney Houston: The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban), now on Passport!
Celebrate Houston’s transcendent 1994 performance, which brought joy to a newly liberated country. Houston was the first major Western recording artist to perform in the post-apartheid nation following President Nelson Mandela’s historic election.
