On January 25, 2024, a bronze statue of famed baseball player and civil rights pioneer Jackie Robinson was stolen from League 42, a nonprofit baseball league for youth in Wichita. The theft shocked the local community and made news nationwide. In the following months, support poured in from around the world to replace the missing statue. Filmmakers Travis Heying and Jaime Green captured the story in "More Like Jackie," a Wichita Eagle documentary film.Join us at Newton Public Library for a free screening of the 1-hour film, followed by a Q&A/talkback with Heying, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19.
