Jackie Robinson: Baseball’s Great Pioneer

Do you know this famous man who is Jackie Robinson? I didn’t know him before I read this book. I like baseball, so I think he was famous player when I watch book cover.
He was black face, when there were blacks and whites separate. Jackie likes sports. He played football in Hawaii; his team was the Honolulu Bears. When he was 23, he was drafted into the army. However there were segregations again. Pro baseball was segregated. Black players weren’t allowed in Major League Baseball, so they played in their own leagues. There was segregations, he though” Now I can’t lose my temper. If I do, it might cause blacks and whites to fight in the stands.” However he became a power hitter. Finally his team won the World Series. In 1964, Jackie did more to help African Americans. He helped start Freedom National Bank, one of the first banks owned by African Americans. By 1971, Jackie’s health was failing. He felt it was time to record his life. Jackie died of heart attack on October 24, 1972, at age 53.
He was so brave. There were much segregation, however he wasn’t undaunted. We experienced bullying. No, we will do that. However we have to think what he or she thinks. (218 words)
