Black History Month: Jack Roosevelt Robinson is better known as Jackie Robinson, he attended Pasadena City College and went on to UCLA where he became the school’s first athlete to win varsity letters in four sports: baseball, basketball, football & track. He was one of only four black players on the UCLA team, this was considered an integrated team. In 1942 he was drafted and assigned to a segregated Army unit at Fort Riley, Kansas. After much protest he and several other qualified black men were accepted into Officer Candidate School. After his commission as second lieutenant he joined the 761st Black Panther Tank Batallion. On July 6, 1944 Robinson boarded an Army bus where the bus driver ordered him and a fellow officer’s wife to the back of the bus and Robinson refused. The bus driver called police and Robinson was arrested and charged with multiple offenses including public drunkenness even though Robinson did not drink. This ended his military career. He went on to play major league baseball marking the end of segregation in the sport; known as the baseball color line. He played for only 10 seasons all of them for the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6 World Series, and he played in all 6. He ensured so much specially because he called out the racism in baseball specifically the New York Yankees. The city of Pasadena in 1997 erected a 9ft bronze sculpture across from the main entrance of City Hall. Brookside Park next to the Rose Bowl features the a baseball diamond named after him, and the city operates the Jackie Robinson Center a community outreach that provides healthcare. There is so much more to Jackie that I could ever write on here, so I would invite you to invite yourself to become aware of these stories, facts, figures and continue to share them with your fiends,your family and anyone who is willing to listen. Many times I hear the “east coast” types say LA has no culture, or history and I would like to say fuck you,yes we do,it just makes you uncomfortable to own it. Thank you for reading. #shareblackhistory#blackhistorymonth#pasadena#CaliforniaHistory#HiddenFigures#JackieRobinson#UCLA#PasadenaCityCollege#blackexcellence#PCC#Baseball#Doyers#Dodgers

Black History Month: Josephine Baker was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Her mother Carrie was adopted in 1886 by Richard and and Elvira McDonald who were of African and Native American decent, they were former slaves. The récords of the city of St. Louis show that her mother was admitted to the exclusively white Female Hospital where she stayed for two weeks. The father on her birth certificate is listed as “Edw”. Josephine believed her father was a German man as her mother had worked for a German family around the time she became pregnant. It is believed, it was he who got her into the hospital and paid to keep her there for those weeks. Most black births at that time were not registered and it was customary for black women to give birth at home.Josephine began performing at the age of one, with her parents who had a song-and-dance act. She had little formal education attended only until the fifth grade.She began to work as a live-in-domestic worker for white families where one of the women abused her by burning her hands for putting too much soap in the laundry. She went on to live on the streets sleeping in cardboard boxes and scavenging for food in thrash bins.In the mid 1920’s her vaudeville troupe was booked into a New York City venue,and her career took off. It was the Harlem Renaissance. Her career began with black face comedy at local clubs. Her mother disapproved of this, however these performances landed Baker an opportunity to tour in Paris.She became the highest paid chorus girl in vaudeville.Baker performed a number called Dánse Sauvage wearing a costume which consisted of a skirt made of a string of artificial bananas and her pet cheetah “Chiquita” who was adorned with a diamond collar.Ernest Hemingway called her the “the most sensational woman anyone ever saw”. She would spend hours talking with the author around the bars in Paris, Picasso drew paintings of her and Jean Cocteau put her in films & became the first Black woman to star in a motion picture.When she arrived back in New York in the 1950’s she was refused reservations at 36 hotels and became so upset she began to write about segregation.#ushistory
