An introduction to the personal life and baseball career of the legendary player, Jackie Robinson.
On April 15, 1947 an amazing event transpired at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. On that date Jackie Robinson played a baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. While that fact is rather mundane it becomes noteworthy when one considers that Jackie Robinson was an African-American. Indeed, Jackie Robinson was the first member of his race to break the "color line" and participate in a modern major league baseball game. This pioneering endeavor was not without risk. During his first season in the majors Jackie Robinson faced frequent abuse and threats. However, despite the abuse heaped upon him, Mr. Robinson maintained his composure and set the stage for the integration of professional sports. Jackie Robinson's story of sacrifice and excellence is related in this outstanding illustrated biography. Lucia Raatma provides a vivid recounting of Jackie Robinson's contributions and his life. Readers will come away form this fine book with a deeper understanding not only of Jackie Robinson's experiences but also of the importance of his efforts to the broader movement for civil rights. Part of the "Trailblazers of the Modern World" series.
