Flipping the Script: Unexpected Moments that Time Forgot
“Flipping the Script” is a history lecture series that highlights people, groups or events in world history that are typically ignored or considered irrelevant in mainstream cultural narratives.
For the second lecture in the series, Chris Kimball, PhD, will discuss the Jackie Robinson story. Although Robinson’s story is well known, less reported is the impact of integration on Black professional baseball. As Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, the “Negro Leagues” experimented with white players. That fascinating story further highlights the remarkable nature of Robinson’s achievement.
