Some well-known New York faces unveiled a new piece of history belonging to the legendary Brooklyn Dodger Jackie Robinson.
The original contract Robinson signed with the Dodgers in 1947 was unveiled Monday in Times Square.
His minor league contract from 1945 with the then-Montreal Royals was also on display.
Both contracts broke the color barrier in baseball and haven't been displayed publically in nearly 70 years.
Those NY1 spoke to say Robinson's impact transcended the sport and is still felt today.
"For him to break down the color barrier there was to really make the American mainstream have to deal with the question of equality and fairness for Black Americans. The signing of the contract was the sealing the deal," said the Rev. Al Sharpton.
"This is bigger than just the signing of a contract. This is about opening a gateway and passageway to the future. It was from contracts like this that opened the door for me," said rapper Master P.
Robinson led the Dodgers to six trips to the World Series and won a National League MVP award in 1949.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962.
