Jackie Robinson

Jackie Robinson & Pee Wee Reese Memorial by sculptor William Behrends at Coney Island: The monument to baseball hall-of-famer Jackie Robinson, in New York City’s Jackie Robinson Park (Harlem, 1981), was the first public statue to honor an athlete of any race. But perhaps even more important and poignant is the Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese Monument  at the Brooklyn Cyclones Stadium.. Photo by David Jacobs
