Overcame a Hardship/Challenge
He was the first African
American in baseball in
1947. He was teased when
he started playing
professional white baseballbecause his teammates
didn't want black people on
the team.I think the hardship is he
would be scared that they
might hurt him and that he
might not be able to play
anymore.

Took Action
Jackie Robinson wanted
to help the Civil Rights
Movement. He picketed
and marched in the
1960 to get equal rights.
I think he wasn't just
playing baseball he took
time to help other
blacks and himself getequal rights.

Impact: How Things are Different Today
Blacks are playing
baseball because of
Jackie Robinson. People
from different culturesplay baseball. I think think that Jackie

thing because other
blacks want to playwhite baseball.

people about Civil

inspiring other blacks to

is making the white
people realize that thelaws are unfair.
