520    To commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the breaking of
       baseball's color barrier, an exploration of Jackie 
       Robinson's impact and legacy by the people whose lives 
       were transformed by his courage. When Robinson joined the 
       Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, he forever changed the game of 
       baseball--and America itself. Sportswriter Fussman traces 
       Robinson's enormous legacy in sports, politics, and the 
       civil rights movement through the men (and women) who came
       after him. With moving and intimate interviews of more 
       than one hundred former major league players of African-
       American descent, as well as such luminaries as Jimmy 
       Carter, Muhammad Ali, and Walter Cronkite, among others, 
       this book recalls the day one man altered history for so 
       many, and the history that followed.--From publisher
