The author did an amazing job of helping me understand what and why Jackie did things. I have read books about segregation in years prior such as Mississippi Trial 1955. Those books got in much more into terrible actions done by white Americans. I thought that Jackie gave hope to the people of the US. In the book Jackie is often being threatened by people. One of my favorite parts of the book that helped Jackie a lot was when a common man went up to Jackie and said "If a man has got what it takes, he should have a fair shot, I'm for you and so are another bunch of white folk around here." The book was amazing and very helpful in giving me incite to what the world was like in the early 40's]]> 2017-09-26 18:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ang20970/ttehcx8tuwlq/wish/191417400 ang20970 https://padlet.com/ang20970/ttehcx8tuwlq/wish/191417444 Jackie is just a nickname,  his full name is Jack Roosevelt Robinson

 Mr. Rickey]]> 2017-11-01 20:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ang20970/ttehcx8tuwlq/wish/202707110 ang20970 https://padlet.com/ang20970/ttehcx8tuwlq/wish/202707172 During the time African Americans had just came back from WW2 and after serving their country, they were faced with segregation. Especially in the South. No place was more segregated than in Professional Baseball. This quote showed me that you have to be above what people think you are. Mr. Richie told Jackie to fight back by not fighting back. To make the right decision no matter what is going on with the world. ]]> 2017-11-01 20:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ang20970/ttehcx8tuwlq/wish/202707172 ang20970 https://padlet.com/ang20970/ttehcx8tuwlq/wish/202978529 A life is not important except it's impact on other lives.
