The editor has unearthed a remarkable trove of Robinson's correspondence with--and personal replies from--such towering figures as Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Hubert Humphrey, Nelson Rockefeller, and Barry Goldwater. These extraordinary conversations reveal the scope and depth of Robinson's effort during the 1950s and 1960s to rid America of racism. Long's first book on Jackie Robinson was selected as a best book of the year by Publishers Weekly.[citation needed] Long served as an expert historian for Ken Burns's documentary on Jackie Robinson. Robinson's character, his use of nonviolence, and his unquestionable talent challenged the traditional basis of segregation that had then marked many other aspects of American life. He influenced the culture of and contributed significantly to the civil rights movement.[7][8] Robinson also was the first black television analyst in MLB and the first black vice president of a major American corporation, Chock full o'Nuts. In the 1960s, he helped establish the Freedom National Bank, an African-American-owned financial institution based in Harlem, New York. After his death in 1972, Robinson was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of his achievements on and off the field. Michael G. Long is Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Peace and Conflict Studies at Elizabethtown College. Long is the author or editor of books on civil rights, religion, and politics, including Troublemaker for Justice: The Story Of Bayard Rustin, the Man Behind the March on Washington; We the Resistance: Documenting Our History of Nonviolent Protest; Jackie Robinson: A Spiritual Biography; Peaceful Neighbor: Discovering the Countercultural Mister Rogers; Gay Is Good: The Life and Letters of Gay Rights Pioneer Franklin Kameny; Beyond Home Plate: Jackie Robinson on Life after Baseball; Martin Luther King, Jr., Homosexuality, and the Early Gay Rights Movement; I Must Resist: Bayard Rustin's Life in Letters; Marshalling Justice: The Early Civil Rights Letters of Thurgood Marshall; First Class Citizenship: The Civil Rights Letters of Jackie Robinson; The Legacy of Billy Graham; Billy Graham and the Beloved Community; and Against Us, But for Us: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the State. Long has written for the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, the Huffington Post, the Chicago Sun-Times, New York Daily News, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and his work has been featured or reviewed in or on NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, USA Today, Salon, CNN, Book Forum, and other newspapers and journals. He received a Ph.D. from Emory University in 2000.…
