This past Monday, March 18, I had the privilege of attending a screening of the
movie “42 – The True Story of an American Legend.” The movie, which stars
Chadwick Boseman, a Howard alumnus, and Harrison Ford, will be released on
April 12.
The screening was hosted by Community Academy Public Charter Schools, and The
Jackie Robinson Foundation, among others, and was followed by a discussion
panel that included Andre Holland, supporting actor; Lonnie Bunch, Director of
the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture; and
Sharon Robinson, daughter of Jackie Robinson.
I really enjoyed the film, which tells the story of both Jackie Robinson and
Branch Rickey, who signed Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers. It shows the
tremendously difficult journey these two men traveled to show everyone the
talent Robinson had for playing baseball, despite the violent opposition to his
race.
At one point in the movie, Rickey and Robinson are discussing courage in the
face of the racism and degradation Robinson is enduring. Robinson asks, “You
want a player that don’t got the guts to fight back?” Rickey responds, “No. I
want a player that’s got the guts NOT to fight back.” Unlike many during that
time period who chose to fight back, Robinson didn’t have that option if he
wanted to continue to play baseball and maintain everything they had worked so
hard to accomplish.
Both actors brought their roles to life onscreen, delivering unforgettable
performances. Boseman, who received his Bachelor of Fine Arts at Howard
University<http://howard.edu/> in directing, really captured the essence of
Robinson. Boseman even walked like the legendary baseball player, as the
legend's daughter, Sharon Robinson, noted during the panel discussion after the
film.
