In 1945, at just 24, Georg Olden became head art director of CBS’s new television division, two years before Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color line.
He helped shape the look of I Love Lucy and Gunsmoke, designed the Clio statuette, and in 1963 became the first African American to design a U.S. postage stamp.

Re-broke. Jackie Robinson RE-BROKE the color line. There were Black American players in the MLB before him but they segregated. Jackie is a testament of integration, NOT the first Black MLB player. The history is very specific
