Dave Zirin:

Rachel Robinson is living history and a national treasure. She is also a link to a time of white supremacist terror backed by the legal system. This was an era too many of us naively believed was in the dustbin of history. But if we need to fight the wars of the twentieth century again in the twenty-first, as the U.S. Supreme Court stands poised to repeal decades of progress, we have examples of the kind of courage it will take to steel ourselves going forward. That courage is and has always been ample in the heart of Rachel Robinson.

Haven't seen her in a few years, but at 85 she looked about 65
