#OnThisDay July 3, 1938—Jackie Robinson places third in the broad jump at the National Amateur Athletic Union's annual meet in Buffalo, New York. This is one year prior to Jackie enrolling at UCLA where he would go on to compete as part of the university's Track and Field team.

Exactly one week after she turned 100, Rachel Robinson — with help from son David — cut the ribbon during the ceremonial opening of her late husband’s museum in Manhattan. The Jackie Robinson Museum is finally open.

“LJ, you did it!” @DellaBritton applauds @JRFoundation’s superb COO @LaTonyaFJohnson #JackieRobinsonMuseum

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

So many of us owe our triumphs to Number 42.

When he stepped up to the plate in Brooklyn, he stood up for generations of Black Americans — and the world noticed.

It was my honor to join Jackie Robinson's family to celebrate his legacy at the new Jackie Robinson Museum in NYC.

.@_jessicamendoza on where baseball stands 75 years after Jackie Robinson’s debut:

“It’s not where it needs to be. ... Even before he passed, one of his messages is he wants to see ‘a black face managing baseball.’ We have two right now.”

[MLBPA @MLBPA]

You have to understand the past to make a difference in the present.

Pete Alonso, @RobinsonCano and more #MLBPlayers designed custom cleats to honor Jackie Robinson and his legacy.
