Jackie Robinson Day Honors Civil Rights Icon

Jackie Robinson Day Celebrates Legacy of Baseball Pioneer and Civil Rights Icon

April 15, 2025 – Major League Baseball (MLB) and fans across the nation honored the enduring legacy of Jackie Robinson on Monday, commemorating the 78th anniversary of the day he broke baseball’s color barrier.

Every year on April 15, all MLB players, coaches, and umpires wear Robinson’s iconic No. 42 jersey in tribute to his historic 1947 debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers, which paved the way for racial integration in professional sports. This year’s celebrations included pregame ceremonies, educational programs, and community outreach events emphasizing Robinson’s impact both on and off the field.

At Dodger Stadium, where the Los Angeles Dodgers hosted a special game, Robinson’s family, civil rights leaders, and former players gathered to reflect on his courage in the face of racism and his lifelong fight for equality. His daughter, Sharon Robinson, spoke about her father’s continued relevance in today’s social justice movements.

'Jackie Robinson Day isn’t just about baseball—it’s about carrying forward the values he stood for: dignity, perseverance, and justice,' she said. 'His story reminds us that one person’s bravery can change the world.'

Since 2004, MLB has universally retired Robinson’s No. 42, making it the only number permanently taken out of circulation across all teams. However, each year on this date, the number returns to the field in a powerful display of unity and remembrance.

Beyond the diamond, organizations and schools nationwide used the day to teach younger generations about Robinson’s role in the Civil Rights Movement. MLB also highlighted its ongoing efforts to promote diversity in baseball through youth initiatives and scholarships.

As players took the field wearing No. 42, the message was clear: Jackie Robinson’s legacy lives on, inspiring new champions of equality in sports and society.
