Jackie Robinson Jr. was killed in an automobile accident on June 17, 1971. He was 24 years old.
In Jackie Robinson's bio it said his son the oldest Jackie Jr. died of a car accident to drug addiction that started when he went to the Vietnam War. that just what I read. Very sad.
He married his wife Rachel in February 1946. In November, Jackie and Rachel had a son Jackie Robinson, Jr. (Their son died young, partly as a result of drug problems.) The Robinsons also had a daughter, Sharon, and another son, David. After Jackie Robinson died in 1973, his widow Rachel continued to honor his legacy, starting a foundation to give scholarships to deserving minority young people. A longtime philanthropist, Rachel Robinson also won several awards for community service.
