Basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was born the day after Robinson made his historic Major League debut in 1947, wrote the e-book’s foreword, a heartfelt reflection on the impact Robinson had on his life. It reads, in part:
“Jackie Robinson was one of those giants in my life. His drive and commitment to becoming a superior athlete inspired me to work harder and push myself past what I thought were limits to heights I otherwise might not have dared to reach. He taught us that we can do better.”
