Here and Now: Jackie Robinson's granddaughter on how he reshaped sports, broke barriers

NEW YORK (WABC) -- On this episode of "Here and Now," we're celebrating Father's Day.

We'll discuss how a partnership between Mount Sinai and the Real Dad's Network is changing habits and saving lives, improving the heart health of Black men.

We'll dive into Grandpas United, and how retired elders are making a difference in the lives of young people.

Following that, we'll look at Black athletes of color, ones who broke barriers and reshaped the world of sports. With that, we'll be sitting down with Jackie Robinson's granddaughter.

We'll also break down two basketball-based documentaries.

Here and Now with Sandra Bookman airs Sundays at 12:00 p.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
