"As the first African American ever to play for a major league baseball team, Jackie Robinson helped change race relations in America forever. Readers will learn about Robinson{u2019}s early success as a versatile athlete and the difficulties he faced in an era of widespread prejudice and segregation. They will also find out how he came to break pro baseball{u2019}s color barrier and how he used his fame to bring awareness to the civil rights movement"--Publisher description.
