Proud Harvest (Read the story on the web)
Deep in the Tanzanian bush, David Robinson, the 53-year-old
son of baseball legend and civil-rights hero Jackie Robinson,
has exchanged his uneasy compromise with U.S. culture for a
tribal adoption, an arranged marriage, and an economic
crusade. Through the farmers' cooperative he founded, he is
using the world's second-most-valuable natural
resource—coffee—to spur social change. In the latest chapter
of a great American family saga, the author learns about
Robinson's childhood in lily-white Connecticut, his father's
lessons, and the pride he has found in Africa.

Mr. Coffee,
How a Baseball Scion Put Down Roots In Africa, and Grew a Very
Rich Blend
The coffee farmer from Africa
used to build houses in Harlem. He used to study at Stanford
and protest war and racism. He fought with his fists as a
black kid under siege by first-grade classmates at a white
private school in Connecticut.
For fun, he'd ride bareback on his childhood horse named
Diamond, even swim with the beast in the pond on his family's
six-acre estate.
