Baseball great Jackie Robinson showed personal courage both on the playing field and with his family.

Famous for becoming the first African American to play on a Major League baseball team, Robinson also insisted that he “test the ice” on the family pond before he let his children skate on it – even though he didn’t know to swim.

Author Sharon Robinson shares her father’s story.
