Good day to remind people that while Jackie Robinson exhibited grace, he was very outspoken about racial oppression, supported the Black Panthers, and criticized MLB for the lack of black people in leadership positions. He also later did not sing or stand for the national anthem. https://t.co/A6vSnhTKg3
