EzraJackie Robinson had broken the barrier of color that had been put there for many years. He also developed a new era of hard hitting and speed instead of how they usually played with strategy. He also started a kick-off to the civil-rights movements with not just political movements, but also with sports. Even white people started cheering for Negros while they played because they realized that color did not affect the way people play. So did Jackie Robinson make a change? I would have to say yes considering what a tough life he went through. Then breaking the color barrier so that millions of other Negros could play too.
Famous for breaking baseball's color line and starting the integration of Organized Baseball. While he was not the first African American player in the majors - some claims have been made that Bill White was also African American - he was the first in over 60 years and the first to play after the establishment of the color line.
When he was named to the Hall of Fame, it was not just because he was the first black. His abilities were truly of Hall of Fame quality.
