Alan Lelchuk’s BREAKING GROUND: How Jackie Robinson Changed Brooklyn will be on sale September 15th. Foreword Reviews just gave it a wonderful review.
The reviewer, Melissa Wuske, writes, “Lelchuk sets the bar high for Robinson’s impact—’Robinson did something for and through baseball that no other great player had ever done’—but he calmly proves every bold statement through his narrative research.” She goes on to explain that, “Many are familiar with Robinson’s baseball career and cultural impact, but Lelchuk gives insight into the hope Robinson brought specifically to Brooklyn, and particularly to its immigrant families.”
