Jackie Robinson when he played football for the UCLA Bruins, Los Angeles, circa 1939

Description:
Jack Roosevelt Robinson was an American professional baseball player who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the modern era. Robinson broke the baseball color line when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947. When the Dodgers signed Robinson, they heralded the end of racial segregation in professional baseball that had relegated black players to the Negro leagues since the 1880s. Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. [Wikipedia]. Robinson contributed significantly to the civil rights movement, used his influence, to promote nonviolence, and received NAACP's Spingarn Medal.
