Read the short passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.
During Jackie Robinson’s time, leagues were still segregated. Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. Branch knew Jackie would face some tough times, and Branch made him promise not to fight back when he faced this racism, which often came from his own teammates. Despite the threats that both he and his family faced, on April 15, 1947, Jackie became the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues.
In addition to breaking the color barrier in the world of athletics, Jackie became a vocal champion of civil rights. In 1949, he testified on discrimination before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Additionally, Jackie wrote letters to every American president who held office between 1956 and 1972 expressing various levels of discontent about his belief that not enough was being done to advance the cause of civil rights. In his lifetime, Jackie was not only a voice for African-American athletes, he was a voice for the nation.
