This resolution recognizes April 15, 2025, as Jackie Robinson Day in the State of Kansas, commemorating the significant contributions of Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball (MLB) on April 15, 1947, as the first African American player for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The resolution highlights Robinson's exceptional athleticism, having excelled in multiple sports at UCLA, his military service during World War II, and his pivotal role in the Civil Rights movement. It notes his achievements in baseball, including receiving the Rookie of the Year Award, the Most Valuable Player Award, and being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges Robinson's efforts beyond baseball, such as advocating for human rights, improving working conditions, and co-founding a Black-owned bank and construction company to support the Black community. It also mentions MLB's retirement of his uniform number 42 across all teams in 1997 and the establishment of "Jackie Robinson Day," where players wear his number to honor his legacy. The resolution was sponsored by Representatives Daniel Hawkins and Patrick Penn and was adopted by the House of Representatives.
