The Robinsons' Honeymoon: Segregation on a Journey South

Rachel Robinson recalls her wedding to Jackie in 1946. In lieu of a honeymoon, the Robinsons traveled to Daytona Beach, Florida for the Dodgers' spring training. The Robinsons faced discrimination and segregation along the journey; they were bumped from planes, sent to the backs of buses, and confronted with racist comments.
