Book Review - Opening Day - The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season by Jonathan Eig
by
Jeffrey Caminsky
In 1947, America changed permanently when the first African-American baseball player donned a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform and took the field. Jackie Robinson endured taunts, slurs, and the hatred of bigots-and showed another facet of true courage. In the process, America took a step closer to its ideals, and became a richer and better country. Noted author Jonathan Eig tells the story of Robinson's accomplishment, and America's first steps away from the days of Jim Crow.

Jackie Robinson - Baseball Legend
by
Geoff James
Jackie Robinson: career Dodger, second baseman, great hitter...even if not for what he did for black players he would be one of the League's best. But in 1947 Jackie Robinson did what no black man had done since 1889: played for the Major Leagues.
