Who thought of this idea for great social change?His name was Branch Rickey, the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers and a man of great conviction. I am his great-grandniece and grew up with tales of the Robinsons and baseball's "Great Experiment," a courageous and necessary venture that shaped not only their lives, but history as well.
