Student essay inspires Jackie Robinson plaque at Victorville s Civil Rights Memorial
Victorville Daily Press
A bronze plaque featuring Brooklyn Dodgers legend Jackie Robinson is now featured among other honored heroes at the Civil Rights Memorial outside Victorville City Hall.
Robinson broke major league baseball s color barrier in April 1947 when he donned a Dodgers uniform, replete with the now MLB-retired No. 42.
The name of Bradley Brook Russell is also prominently featured on the plaque, which was installed earlier this month at the garden memorial located on Civic Drive in Victorville.
