He did not put an end to segregation, that was President LBJ and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. who got a lot of civil rights legislation passed in the 1960's.

However, Jackie Robinson Helped to end segregation by being the first black Baseball player in the major leagues-the Brooklyn Dogers in the 1950's.
