Jackie Robinson: Race, Sports and the American Dream
Jackie Robinson was recruited by Branch Rickey(the gm of the Brooklyn Dodgers), to play for his team. It would make Jackie the second black MLB player ever allowed in the league. Jackie got things thrown at him, got racial slurs yelled at him, and many other awful things. Jackie was able to prove the doubters wrong, and he was later on accepted by the league. This person impacted American society because he showed everyone that black people are just as good, and should be accepted like white people. The theme is to always believe and that's the theme because Jackie never gave up, and believed in Branch Rickey, and everything worked out. Yes, I would recommend this text because it's a good true story about one man, changing the world as we know it today.
