Exploring the intersection of baseball history and cultural identity
In short: This panel discussion celebrates the Met's exhibition, Breaking the Color Barrier in Major League Baseball, through a conversation on the sport's profound historical and musical connections.
Moderated by Christopher Gorman, the discussion brings together diverse voices to examine the legacy of the game. The panel includes New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden, author of Forty Million Dollar Slaves; Sharon Robinson, daughter of Jackie Robinson and author; retired two-time NL MVP Dale Murphy; and columnist Sean Kirst. The event, organized by the Met's Spectrum initiative, connects the museum's permanent baseball card collection with broader social narratives.
