there is no mention in jackie robinson's auto biography and no mention in the press and black press which had done 20 related stories if that had happened. baseball etiquette suggests you don't do that. jackie is at first base. pee wee is at short. you don't walk across the diamond. i think white people seeing the nobility of this story wanted to have, no pun intended, some skin in the game. and they wanted to show that this were supporting this. and they put themselves forward in this way. i believe what happened is several years later when jackie was playing second base that they made a good play together, told each other a joke or something and ended with arms around each other. that migrated. stuff in history migrates all the time so this migrated back in time to become a symbol of solidarity with this lone action of jackie robinson. you can understand why it is, but it's really important we don't perpetuate it. baseball, hall of fame is in cooperstown because we think doubleday which we don't have any record he saw a game -- but the real story in hoboken is not good enough and so we

jackie robinson was a republican and worked very hard. he saw that as the party of lincoln and a party of opportunity. he was continually disappointedr when candidates like richard nixon or barry goldwater or other seem to betray the original birthright of the republican party which wasy, founded in slavery in theen country that was dithering about it. >> host: on line for public and the call from culver city california, good morning. >> caller: first of all ken burns you are one of the most finest filmmakers in the world but i have to tell you your documentaries, you don't seem to try to persuade or push an agenda. you put out facts and people ca. deduct what they wanted from the documentary. your documentaries are outstanding but let me tell you real quick a story. in 1972 in june of 1972 jackie robinson made an appearance at dodger stadium the only apparent ever made at dodger stadium. he came out -- what happened was it was an old-timers game and they were going to retire jackie robinson and sandy koufaxnu numbers that day. i was stan

we want to be that when we look at jackie robinson. 993, there was a jewish where someoneana threw a rock in their window. printed on the menorahs. jackies the america robinson was fighting for. i think we are feeling that maybe we are losing touch with that america. it is easier to gravitate toward the mob mentality than it is to do the harder, more christian thing. to turn the other cheek and to appeal to those better angels and i think what jackie's example is. what clearly the crowd at dodger stadium felt, is that there is the embodiment of our best selves. for: calvin is on our line democrats. good morning. caller: i would like to talk about one of the biggest coverups in american history and that is when they take all of the african-americans -- not all and the media and even some of the african-american players like reggie jackson, dusty baker, hank aaron. i'm not sure about hank aaron, but they knew what was going on when they kicked those african-americans out of wasball and what happened as soon as they went to the minor lease
