How was Jackie Robinson's contribution to baseball significant to the game and significant in history? Jackie Robinson was the first African-American to play in Major League baseball. He signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, and throughout his career, Robinson distinguished himself as a talented player and a vocal civil rights activist. In 1955, he helped the Dodgers win the World Series. He retired in 1957 and died in Connecticut in 1972.

Jackie Robinson was given a tough time with many other people treating him with disrespect because of his race. One of his famous quotes is," I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being." He wanted to be treated as an equal even if you were not a fan of his work. As a truly respected human, he shook off negativity and went down being one of the most famous players in history.

He was a major part of equal rights for the people. He was a role model for determination and courage, and he was a leading cause of equality in today's modern society.
As he broke the color barrier in baseball, he was a voice for other African-American athletes. In July 1949, he testified about discrimination before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Jackie Robinson was more than a baseball player and an equal rights activist. He allowed for young kids and adults to believe they can be anything no matter their race.

"and these i address to all females that would be married, or are already so; not that i suppose their sex more faulty than the other, and most to want advice, for i assure [women], upon my honour, i believe the quite contrary; but the reason is, because i esteem them better disposed to receive and practice it, and therefore am willing to begin, where i may promise myself the best success." this statement from franklin's "rules and maxims for promoting matrimonial happiness" best demonstrates his use of criticism to argue his point his use of common sense to appeal to women his use of flattery to gain women's attention his use of facts to prove his point
