Jackie's Impact on Civil Rights

 Jackie Robinson was an active protester in the civil rights movement for almost his whole life. He used diplomatic speeches and protests to help people recognize the problems of segregation. He established the Freedom National Bank with a few investors, which became the largest African American owned and ran bank in the state of New York. He chose to establish the bank in Harlem because, at the time, that was where many African Americans lived. The bank was run by African Americans and helped to get African Americans loans, credit, and mortgages faster and easier than other white-owned banks at the time.

Jackie Robinson made a huge impact on the United States by making it possible for African Americans to play baseball. He broke the decade-old color barrier that excluded players of Black African descent from Major League Baseball and its associated Minor Leagues. His work in the civil rights movement helped to end segregation, but it all started when he broke the color barrier in 1947. Jackie Robinson’s actions influenced other African Americans to step up and start to play for the Major Leagues and be active in the Civil Rights Movement.
