#6 Jackie Robinson Question

I believe that Jackie Robinson deserves to be ranked as the greatest civil rights figure in American History because allowing an African American to play sports during this time was unheard of. Robinson was the first African American to play Major League baseball. He was disliked by most the white audience, but pushed through the negativity and prolonged. He was one of the best players on the team, and even then people still didn't give the support he deserved just because the color of his skin. Through all the hatred and his brave decision to keep playing, he showed that even though his skin was a different color he deserved to be there just like everyone else. This shows a lot of courage which is why he deserves to be known as the greatest civil rights figure.
