Alcove Galleries<br />

Surrounding the exterior of the Pantheon, five<br />

distinct alcoves explore <strong>Jackie</strong> <strong>Robinson</strong>’s<br />

journey from his birthplace in Cairo, Georgia,<br />

through the baseball years in Los Angeles,<br />

Montreal and Brooklyn, and finally to his family<br />

home in Connecticut. Intimate portraits, personal<br />

artifacts and social commentary will give<br />

context to each stage of his remarkable life.<br />

Interactive<br />

Pillars<br />

As visitors move in and out of the Pantheon<br />

and Alcove galleries, hands-on interactive and<br />

multi-media exhibits at five stations will pull<br />

the visitor more fully into the <strong>Museum</strong> experience,<br />

deepening understanding and challenging<br />

creative thinking on subjects including baseball,<br />

segregation, political protest, citizenship,<br />

personal integrity and social change.<br />

Integrated with the <strong>Museum</strong>’s website, the<br />

Interactive Pillars will amplify the instructional<br />

materials provided to student visitors in advance<br />

of their visit.
