Abstract: marked the 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in major league baseball.'While I was mourning the fact that so little progress had been made in 50 years, the mainstream media was celebrating it as an important moment in the nation's narrative of racial progress.2 It was, in some ways, a bittersweet remembrance as the nation was forced to recall the dark days of racial segregation.But the pain or guilt is softened because those dark days are represented in grainy, black and white newsreels, relegated to the safety of the past.'
