Jackie Robinson

Jackie Robinson, born on January 31, 1912, in Cairo, Georgia, broke barriers as the first African American to play in Major League Baseball, joining the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Despite facing racial discrimination, including being forced to the back of the bus and having to eat at separate restaurants, he excelled in sports and became a symbol of hope and equality. Robinson won numerous accolades, including induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and played in six World Series before passing away in 1972. His legacy continues to inspire future generations.
