Nearly 80 years after Jackie Robinson’s debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers, his personal and professional journey still resonates as a shining example to us all. His courage, character, commitment and relentless pursuit of excellence formed the backbone of his story, and stand as an enduring testament to his legacy.
