Robinson\u2019s incredible accomplishments on the field are even more remarkable when combined with the enormous obstacles he was faced with while achieving them \u2013 fighting against segregation, racial discrimination and standing up for the rights of African Americans everywhere. However, when the Hall of Famer retired to continue his efforts off the field, there was still much work to be done in baseball and players including Bill White, Curt Flood, and future Hall of Famer Bob Gibson picked up where Jackie left off. The relentless efforts and sacrifices of these brave men would eventually advance the status of Black players on and off the field, send the league toward greater roster integration, and force the sport of baseball, and the country, to change for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>After Jackie<\/strong>\u201d delves deep into the untold stories of White, Flood and Gibson who refused to let the color of their skin determine the boundaries of their successes and whose resolute determination and tenacity marked a new standard of acceptance and inclusivity within the sport of baseball and ultimately around the world. The film features new and rare interviews with White and Gibson, before his untimely passing, as well as former and current baseball players such as&nbsp;<strong>CCSabathia<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Mookie<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Betts, Ken Griffey Jr.,<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Joe Torre,<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Dave Roberts, Al Downing&nbsp;<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>Tim McCarver<\/strong>, renowned sports journalists, and unlimited access to Major League Baseball\u2019s expansive media archive chronicling more than a century of baseball history, as well as rarely seen Jackie Robinson footage, to help tell this important story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, The History Channel is supporting the Jackie Robinson Foundation\u2019s Scholars program as well as creating robust education guides for schools in conjunction with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2022\/02\/the-history-channel-greenlights-documentary-after-jackie-lebron-james-and-stanley-nelson-to-ep-directed-by-andre-gaines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201c<strong>After Jackie<\/strong>.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>After Jackie<\/strong>\u201d is produced for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The HISTORY\u00a0Channel<\/a> by UNINTERRUPTED and Firelight Films in association with Major League Baseball and in collaboration with The Jackie Robinson Foundation.
