"The issues in baseball, the issues that Jackie Robinson challenged in 1947, they're still with us," David Robinson told the crowd of attendees. "The signs of ‘white only’ have been taken down, but the complexity of equal opportunity still exists."Oscar-winning filmmaker Spike Lee, wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers cap, told FOX 5 NY that the museum has more Jackie Robinson memorabilia "than Cooperstown," referring to the Baseball Hall of Fame.Get breaking news alerts in the free FOX5NY News app! | Sign up for FOX 5 email newsletters"Without him, there would be no me, I wouldn't be standing here," retired pitcher CC Sabathia said.

The poll, conducted online, samples more than 2,200 members of the Angus Reid Forum.Four out of five respondents said they’re cutting back on discretionary spending, putting off major purchases, scaling back travel, driving less or deferring saving in recent months.
