Jackie Robinson

        I feel that Jackie Robinson deserves to be ranked as one of the greatest civil rights figures in American history. I feel that he isn't the greatest civil rights figure but he is up there with Rosa Parks and M.L.K. Jackie is a great figure because he was able to break the "color barrier" in the white baseball league. He had to not fight back to all the remarks that were made by the players and the people in the crowd. He was able to over come everything and be the first African American baseball player in the white baseball league. I feel that Jackie Robinson is one of the greatest civil rights figure in American history.
