Summary
Every April 15, Major League Baseball celebrates the life, values, and accomplishments of Jack Roosevelt Robinson. However, most people refer to the baseball and civil rights legend as “Jackie” and not by his given name “Jack.” This week, Milton Alan Turner discusses how “Jackie” was a persona Robinson adopted to be more palatable to white America and why instead, as the title of Yohuru Williams’s and Michael G. Long’s book suggests, we should “Call Him Jack.”
