Jackie Robinson

Tanner
The best primary source from this film was Rachel Robinson, Jackie’s wife. She told us about how he acted when he was discriminated. She said that he just never said a word to the person. He just turned the other cheek.
The most interesting fact that I learned from this film was that Jackie was a football star in college instead of baseball. He went to UCLA and played running back. He was the nation’s leading rusher.
What reason made Jackie’s decided to peruse baseball instead of football after college?
