Department of Transportation Apologizes for Misspelling Jackie Robinson’s Name on Road Sign

A road sign honoring Jackie Robinson, Major League Baseball's first African American player, was spotted in Queens on Sunday, but it was misspelled. The Department of Transportation replaced the sign on Monday and is currently investigating how the mistake occurred. Robinson's legacy is still celebrated today, and the installation of the sign is a reminder of his impact on baseball and civil rights.
