Jackie Robinsons Social Contributions : An 8
page paper
discussing the social effect felt by Jackie Robinsons
addition to the Dodgers. He suffered incredible verbal
abuse and even threats of death, yet continued with his
mission. He summarized the source of his drive in his last
book: I cannot, as an individual, rejoice in the good things
I have been permitted to work for and learn while the
humblest of my brothers is down in a deep hole hollering for
help and not being heard. That is why I have devoted and
dedicated my life to service. Jackie Robinson did more
perhaps than any other black man in breaking color barriers.
Without discounting the contributions of other civil rights
workers, Jackie Robinson became a master of breaking the
white mans rules yet remaining within those same rules.

Desegregation of Major League Baseball In The United
States : A 10 page paper on the integration of Black athletes
into major league baseball. The writer describes the
evolution of the Negro Leagues and the reasons why it
would have been beneficial for these leagues to remain in
effect as they contributed to social bonding. It is argued that
integration damaged some of the pride and cultural
experience that Black athletes enjoyed in the Negro
Leagues. Desegregation brought about major opposition,
ridicule, shame, etc; Irony exists in the fact that Blacks
were allowed to fight and die for America-- but they could
not play baseball. And once they were allowed to, nobody
would accept them. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
