Invoking Jackie Robinson, to re-elect the President

Yes, Donald Trump's campaign released a video ad, “Say What You Will About America," with images of famed Brooklyn Dodger and racial poineer Jackie Robinson (among others, including Martin Luther King, Jr.,) and the pushback was fierce.

Jackie Robinson’s family strongly objects to the use of Jackie Robinson’s image in a Donald Trump @JRFoundation The Trump campaign is in opposition to all that Jackie Robinson stood for and believed in. We’re insulted and demand that his image be removed! @realDonaldTrump

As Yahoo News noted, unless "she owns the image and the campaign used it without her permission, the most she may be able to do is publicly call for them to remove it."
