Wherever you live … pick up today's copy of the New York Times featuring a 24 page special section commemorating Jack Roosevelt Robinson, born January 31, 1919.
There are 100 fabulous photos from the NYT archives and stories by George Vecsey and Claire Smith, an African-American sports writer who was drawn to that field because of Jackie Robinson.
The giant size images, and visuals of some Robinson items we all know and love at first sight, are a treat to the eyes and bring back a youthful joy to the heart.
Get out to a newsstand. Buy a copy. Hold it in your hands. Don't do the online stuff - it will not do the experience justice. Give yourself this treat because you deserve a break today!
