April 15, 1947: Jackie Robinson starts at first base for the Dodgers in a pre-season match against the New York Yankees, and breaks the color line that had segregated baseball since the 1880s! This April 15, in time for Major League Baseball’s Jackie Robinson Day, a new exhibition on Robinson’s trailblazing journey opens at Gitterman Gallery. The show features photographs that capture the pivotal moments in his career, from his first home run, on April 18, 1947, to a 1950 LIFE magazine cover. Also featured are other significant moments in the history of the baseball color line, not least being a 1955 cover of Sports Illustrated that posed Leo Durocher, his wife, and Willie Mays arm in arm. The image caused controversy as the first photo in a national magazine that showed a Black man and a white woman touching. —Paulina Prosnitz
