Each of us is aware of Jackie Robinson's (1919-1972) impact on and off the diamond. Beyond integrating baseball in 1947-- no small accomplishment indeed--he fought for racial equality during the turbulent times of the 1960's. A little known story to many perhaps, is that while in military service in the mid-1940's he refused to move to the back of an Army bus, after being ordered to do so. That peaceful refusal resulted in his discharge, "honorably", from the Army.    - Honorable Military Discharge, 1944 (top left)- Negro League, Kansas City Monarchs 1945 (top right)- Rookie of the Year Pin,...

The First Lady of the United States holds one of the most important roles in American politics, despite not being an elected or appointed official. Over the course of American history, that role has become significantly more influential, and autograph collectors have definitely caught on. Presidential signatures are paramount in the collector’s universe, and those of former First Ladies are not far off.

The newest addition to the Brigandi Collection is a handwritten letter by Jacqueline Kennedy, perhaps the most influential First Lady to date.
