The 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. It highlights his remarkable athletic career, including his achievements in various sports at UCLA, his military service during World War II, and his pivotal role in the Civil Rights movement. Robinson's accolades include the Rookie of the Year Award, the Most Valuable Player Award, and his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Additionally, the resolution honors Robinson's legacy beyond baseball, noting his efforts to improve civil rights and working conditions, as well as his involvement in initiatives to support the Black community. The resolution also acknowledges MLB's retirement of his uniform number 42 across all teams and the establishment of "Jackie Robinson Day," where players wear his number to celebrate his impact on and off the field. The resolution was sponsored by Representatives Daniel Hawkins and Patrick Penn and was adopted by the House of Representatives.
