Transcript: My Jackie Robinson Research Paper Slides Cooper Hinds 8-1 Two Major Facts I learned Facts Jackie Robinson did not just help African Americans through baseball he lead many protest and was part of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ) Jackie Robinson Worked hand in hand with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Pictures My power source was http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/robinson.htm because it was a first hand interview of Jackie Robinson. It shows how he is going to be ridiculed and not be able to do anything about it. It gave me a better understanding of the position Robinson was in when he played in the Major League Baseball. Power source Source Pictures “In 2004 Major League Baseball announced that it would annually honour Robinson each April 15, which would thenceforth be recognized as Jackie Robinson Day. Three years later, star slugger Ken Griffey, Jr., received permission from the commissioner of baseball to wear the number 42 on Jackie Robinson Day, and the yearly “unretiring” of Robinson’s number gained more adherents until, in 2009, Major League Baseball decided that all players, coaches, and umpires would wear number 42 on April 15.” I got this from World Book Online and its the most powerful because it wraps the whole paper up. It shows that he has done so much for the league and the society that the MLB is giving back to him. When the MLB a highly respected orgonazation gives back to you that means you really did somethign good and it sums up my essay. Most powerful citation Citation Pictuers One skill that I learned while writing my essay was not to use the word being in some cases. A lot of times I would say, " Being black at the time..." but Mrs. Lanciotti corrected me to not say that. So I changed it to things like, " As a black man during this time..." - Proof I said, "Being black at this time meant they had little rights in society because of the Jim Crow laws..." I changed that to, " During this time black people had little rights in society because of the Jim Crow laws..." Skill Learned Skill The theme of my paper was to be passionate and stay strong through the worst. Doing this is going to bring better in the long run. Jackie Robinson was passionate in everything he did which evidently led to his sucess. He was passionate in minor league baseball and segregatio. So he got brought up to the MLB and he was helping black people already. Jackie robinson was passionate as the NAACP spokesperson and he ended up working with Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr. So stay passionate and strong through the worst brings the best.
