Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Jackie Robinson (left) and Walter Alston (right) taken in January 1956. Robinson and Alston are sitting in a New York City mid-town restaurant. The men are smiling at each other as Robinson gestures as if to explain something to Alston. The caption underneath the photograph reads, "N.Y. 405 NP SoundPhoto..... New York....
