About this episode

In this episode of SolFul Connections, Deb White shares the exciting news that her father, William De Kova White, a former baseball player, announcer and National League President - the first African American executive to hold such a high position in sports, will be featured in a documentary on the History Channel on June 18 called "After Jackie." The documentary shares how Jackie Robinson opened the door for other African Americans to join the league and details events in the aftermath of Robinson's career. Deb shares personal stories of growing up in a predominantly white area, discusses how we have made strides in the area of race as a nation - and how far we have yet to go.
