Sitting across the street from Pasadena’s City Hall, the two 9-foot bronze sculptures commemorate the lives of brothers Jackie and Mack Robinson. Jackie broke the color barrier in baseball when in 1947 he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, while brother Mack won the silver medal in the 200-meter race in the 1936 Olympics behind Jesse Owens and later broke Owens’ sprint record.
