Jackie Robinson wasn’t merely “the loneliest man in sports,” as the journalist Jimmy Cannon put it in 1947. By the end of his life — he was born 100 years ago Thursday — Robinson was also the loneliest man in politics.

Robinson’s politics steered Republican, but party leaders often isolated him because of his persistent call for a racially inclusive party. Had they embraced him, their party might not have become the sort of haven where politicians such as U.S. Rep. Steve King of Iowa felt safe enough to express support for white nationalism and white supremacy.
