Upon his retirement from baseball in 1957, Jackie Robinson devoted considerable effort to directly supporting civil rights causes and began working with the NAACP during this crucial period of the civil rights movement. That same year, Robinson became the spokesperson for the NAACP's Freedom Fund campaign, a program that set a goal of raising $1,000,000 to fund efforts to change segregation laws and promote equality. Robinson's effort was successful, helping the campaign exceed its ambitious goal.

March 1957 fundraising pamphlet for the NAACP's Freedom Fund Campaign, featuring Jackie Robinson inside and out. Robinson held a national chairman role for this campaign, so his baseball achievements figured prominently into their outreach. Its BVG GOOD 2 grade reflects a chipped lower corner, some handling marks at the upper left, and a modest watermark on the reverse. All printing is legible and should feel motivating for Jackie's fans and collectors, given his family's great personal contributions to this kind of work. An important and hard-to-find piece from his post-baseball life. (While the grading case prevents its buyer from seeing the inside, we have supplied a scan of another example for informational purposes only).
