Read the passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.
Prior to his well-known career in baseball, Jackie Robinson served in the United States Army. Fortunately, he never saw combat. However, during this time, he was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus. Ultimately, he was acquitted of these charges and received an honorable discharge. It was after this discharge that Jackie began playing Major League Baseball.
During this time, leagues were still segregated. Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. Branch knew Jackie would face some tough times, and Branch made him promise not to fight back when he faced this racism, which often came from his own teammates. Despite all of this, on April 15, 1947, Jackie became the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues. In his decade-long career with the Dodgers, Jackie helped his team win the National League pennant several times. In 1955, he helped them achieve the greatest victory of all: the World Series.
A yearbook page for Jackie Robinson includes "Jackie’s pet peeve: racism of any kind.” What image would best illustrate this statement?
2 hands touching.
A badge with 2 crossed baseball bats, with a baseball above and home plate below the bats.
A yellow, diamond-shaped traffic sign that reads Human Rights. A yellow, diamond-shaped traffic sign that reads Human Rights.
