Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia. Prior to his well-known career in baseball, Jackie attended both Pasadena Community College and University of California, as well as served in the United States Army.
During Jackie's time in the army, he was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated
bus. Ultimately, he was acquitted of these charges and received an honorable discharge. It was after this discharge
that Jackie began playing Major League Baseball.
During Jackie's time, leagues were still segregated, and Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and
integrate baseball. Despite the ongoing racism Jackie faced (often from his very own teammates), he became the first
African-American athlete to play in the major leagues, even earning the distinguished honor of Rookie of the Year. In
addition to breaking the color barrier in the world of athletics, Jackie went on to fight for civil rights in all aspects of life.
He did not believe that enough was being done to advance the cause for civil rights, and he dedicated a large portion of
his life to testifying against discrimination and sending letters to every American president who held office between
1956 and 1972 to express this discontent.
Which image would be best to use on a yearbook page to show Jackie Robinson's contributions to the civil rights
