Jackie Robinson Playing Basketball
Description
A slide of a black-and-white, full-length photograph of Jackie Robinson, seen in a gymnasium shooting a basketball with spectators in the background. Robinson is wearing a University of California, Los Angeles basketball uniform with the number 18 and hi-top basketball shoes. He is in front of the free throw line and has a basketball in his raised left hand, with his right hand along the side of the ball, as though he is about to shoot. His left leg is bending at the knee, and he is standing on his tiptoes with his right leg, with his eyes looking up as if focused on the basket.
