n February 1, 2007, Showtime will begin airing the Bud Greenspan documentary Pride Against Prejudice: The Larry Doby Story. Larry Doby was the second black baseball player to cross the color line when he joined the Cleveland Indians, soon 
after Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Branch Rickey: Baseball’s Ferocious Gentleman"[j]ust about everyone knows that Branch Rickey played a major role in
modern baseball’s most important development, the breaking of the color
line. Yet, even if you somehow put that aside, ‘The Mahatma’ would
still rank as one of baseball’s most influential and enduringly
significant figures. It’s that complete Branch Rickey, ‘Rickey in
Full,’ that Lee Lowenfish presents here."

Bud Greenspan Presents Pride against Prejudice: the Larry Doby Story was the best 55 minutes I ever spent watching television. Working with student teachers and their youngsters in Philadelphia where a groundbreaking ‘elective’ (African American History) has greatly raised the intellectual energy and belief that ‘history matters’ I am now much more sensitive to look for potentially meaningful programs to enrich students’ (and my) experiences. The program is exquisitely woven fabric of Larry Doby’s life experiences and journey but that of our country in a pivotal time in the laying of key foundations for the civil rights movement; I cannot but hope that it will be on again so that I can see the missed opening and to really get a chance to soak it all in a second time. My sincere thanks to Bud Greenspan!
