jackie robinson

I do feel that Jackie Robinson deserves to be ranked as one of the greatest civil rights figures in American history. One reason why he deserves this title is because he carried a strong sense of courage and self-consciousness with him that made him a true hero. Jackie Robinson managed to keep a straight face while being taunted by white people and he always never got extremely nervous when being in front of large crowds of white people at his games. Another reason why he deserves this title is because he proved that talent and ability belonged to all men and people, no matter what skin color they are. Jackson Robinson blew crowds of white people away with his spectacular display of skill during his baseball games. One other reason why he deserves this title is because he encouraged people to express themselves no matter what they look like and also to encourage these people to make others respect them for who they are as people and not just based on talents and skills. although he did all these remarkable tasks he is still not the best, that title is held by MLK.
