These days many children dream of playing professional baseball. In all probability you are one of them. You probably have good athletic skills and you work hard, your dream is also realized. But this wasn’t at all times true for athletes in the first a part of this century. More was once required. A player needed to be white. Black players–no matter how well they could hit, catch, or throw–were not signed up by the major leagues.
One brave black player named Jackie Robinson worked to change the “rules,” in order that all races could have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams at the baseball diamond–or anywhere. This is Jackie Robinson’s story.
