Read the short passage about the life of Jackie Robinson. In addition to playing 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 Jackie’s time, leagues were still segregated, and 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. He led in stolen bases and had an outstanding batting average, earning the honor of Rookie of the Year. 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.
