The correct answer is C.

Jack Roosevelt Robinson was the first African American to play in the major leagues. He became the target of vicious racial abuse. After he left baseball he became an advocate for the advancement of civil rights in America. He wrote letters to every president in office complaining about racial segregation and unfair treatment of black people.

He wrote the letter to President Roosevelt amid the controversy over school desegregation in Little Rock and the south of the country. The President reluctantly sent troops to enforce the school's segregation in Little Rock. Therefore, Robinson urged him to take immediate action in furthering equal rights for African Americans. He believed the President's actions were long overdue. He had grown very impatient with Eisenhower's failure to face up the facts about segregation and demanded the government's support of black people fighting for their rights.
