Jackie robinson the first african american in the major league
baseball is a part of history, he was mostly good at everything
mostly sports like football, basketball, track, the sport he was most known for was baseball and he was also in the war. But he was most known for breaking the color barrier.
My first reason for Jackie's succses is Pee Wee Reese,on page 41
in the book promises to keep it says “ Fans started yelling at dodgers captain Pee wee reese saying as a southern he shouldn't be playing with a black man, Pee wee heard the shouting and refused to even glance in the direction of the stands”
My second reason is Rachel robinson. For example in the book it
says ‘After games I talk about how hard it felt to sit in the stands hear fans yell at my husband jack talked about how hard it felt to control his anger, but together we fought pessimism and despair” And that is why I think the factor to Jackie's success in breaking the color barrier is support from others, friends, and family
