Think About It
Who is your favorite athlete? Why? What makes them someone you admire?
Jackie Robinson
In this lesson we will be learning about a very famous athlete who was known for something that is probably different from what you admire about your favorite athlete. This athlete is known for more than just his incredible baseball talent. Jackie Robinson is known for being the first Black baseball player allowed to join a Major League Baseball team. That’s right, there was a time when only White Americans could play in the Major Leagues. His courage, talent, and determination helped pave the way for other African American athletes to play on major teams in other sports across the United States.
