Okay, here’s my sharing about “jackie robinson daughter”:
So, I got really into this whole Jackie Robinson thing recently. You know, the baseball legend who broke the color barrier? Yeah, that guy. But I started wondering about his family, especially his kids.
I dug around and found out he had a daughter named Sharon. And guess what? She’s an author! She’s written a bunch of kids’ books about her dad’s life and all the cool stuff he did.
First, I tried to find some basic info. When was she born? What’s her deal? It turns out, she’s pretty accomplished herself. Won some kind of award for a book called “Child of the Dream” in 2020!
- Checked out some old photos. There’s this one where Jackie’s blowing out birthday candles with his family. Sharon’s there, along with her mom Rachel and her brothers, David and Jackie Jr. Super cute.
- Read about how Sharon keeps her dad’s legacy alive. It’s not just about baseball, but about civil rights and all that. Pretty inspiring, if you ask me.
- Then I found a mention about Sharon’s mother and brother. It was from an article about them in April 2018. Must’ve been a while since they’ve all been together.
- There was even this little tidbit about how Jackie broke the color barrier in baseball two decades before the Civil Rights Act. Pretty mind-blowing when you think about it.
So, I kept digging. It turns out, Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919. And he shattered barriers by desegregating Major League Baseball on April 15. What a legend!
I learned that Sharon Robinson, that’s the daughter, she’s all about keeping her dad’s story alive for new generations. She’s written a whole bunch of books. One was shared in an article that it was his 100th birthday. Another thing I found was that Sharon won the 2020 Grateful American Book Prize.
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into Sharon Robinson. It’s cool to see how she’s carrying on her dad’s legacy. Makes you think about the impact one person can have, and how it ripples out through their family and beyond. Pretty awesome, right?
