Jackie Robinson: Civil Rights Leader

Jackie Robinson is both a baseball legend and civil rights leader, and one who will always be remembered. Robinson inspired many through his actions, even when he silent against the abuse he suffered during his ten season career with the Major League Baseball Division. When Robinson broke the color barrier for baseball, it inspired many young african americans and gave them hope that one day, maybe they’ll see themselves playing in the big leagues too.
Robinson is a hero in the civil rights movement, and his actions apart from his baseball career shall not go unnoticed. He led many protests, and would create funds and programs to help african americans everywhere.
