Was Jackie Robinson a poor or rich family?
No, and I really hope he will overcome this obstacle. The man and woman who would otherwise have been his parents left on a tour ship before he was born, so his younger adopted sister raised him. Unfortunately, this adopted sister was actually a runaway who was returned to her real parents, leaving young Jackie with only a day-care worker to take him in. After he became famous, this daycare worker tried to pass herself off as his natural mother, but since she spoke little English, and was from Scandinavia, she was arrested and charged with attempted fraud and embellishment. She was convicted, but fled the USA before she could be incarcerated. Rumour has it that she fled to Nairobi, Kenya, where she had an extensive family of Hassidic Jews waiting to welcome her back home where she had never been. But Jackie did become kind of famous playing a kids game of some sort.
