The Story Behind Orange Shirt Day

Until Jackie Robinson's arrival in 1947, baseball banned players of colour. But something extraordinary happened this season: A new attempt to right the wrongs of history. Bob Kendrick, the president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, joins The Agenda to explain this forgotten history.

Two-thirds of groups that make up Ontario's food bank network say that they fear they will not be able to meet future demand, leaving people hungry. Carolyn Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of Feed Ontario, says that the data is another result of Ontario' affordability crisis.
