A True Leader
Jackie Robinson deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest civil rights leaders in American History. Jackie Robinson was the first African American to play Major League Baseball in 1947. Taking a stand towards equality for all, Jackie Robinson stands at home plate with dignity. Young Jackie Robinson dealt with racial issues in a peaceful manner by not reacting violently when provoked by a crowd. Reguardless of the racial slurs and ongoing protests against his cause, Jackie Robinson never gave up, not once.He was not only proud of himself but he was proud of his race and felt that no shame should be felt due to the color of one's skin. Though many remained bitter towards the idea of equality, he enstilled hope for African Americans and other minorities across the nation. Jackie Robinson is a repectable hero, one of America's greatest civil rights leaders in American History.
