Donate $42 for Jackie Robinson statue

Posted on January 31, 2024

Surveillance video from a city park in Wichita, Kansas, has provided crucial clues about the people responsible for stealing a life-sized statue of baseball legend and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson last Thursday.

Blurry nighttime video showed two people cutting the bronze sculpture off at the ankles, loading it into the back of a pickup truck and then speeding away. On Monday, police recovered the truck. However, the statue was found shattered in a dumpster that had been set on fire

Jim Ryan shared this morning on “Real News” that people have been donating to a GoFund.me account to replace the statue. I made my contribution this afternoon – here.
