Jackie Robinson could have stayed in the Negro Leagues, where he was a star, respected, and safe from the hatred that awaited him in the majors. He chose otherwise. He believed that segregation was wrong, that talent should determine opportunity, and that sometimes one person has to stand in the gap for those who will follow.
'A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives,' Robinson later wrote. He played not just for himself, but for every Black player who would come after him, for every person denied opportunity because of the color of their skin.
