  1. The life path of Jackie Robinson Q3 Learn and Teach. Designed and created by: Tyler Stewart – 7th hour.

  2. FROM THE BEGINING • Jackie was born in 1919 in Cairo, Georgia • Beyond amazing athlete lettering in 4 sports • Soon became poor and joined U.S. Army • After being discharged his baseball career began

  3. THE NINE MAN SPORT • In 1946 Robinson played in the “negro” league • After that season he was signed to the Brooklyn Dodgers

  4. How It happened • Scouts were sent into the negro leagues to find a special player to break the color barrier in MLB • A man named Branch Rickey, a Dodger scout, saw Jackie • Not only was he the best player he had ever seen but there was something about him he wanted

  5. That Something Special • In a meeting Branch Signed Jackie under one condition • Jackie had to withstand hatred and death threats from spectators, players, and even coaches • Robinson had to promise Rickey he would ignore and take no actions against the whites • The deal was made • Robinson was a Dodger in the MLB

  6. How He Did It • MLB was a huge step up not only in skill but in tolerance level • In the negro league Jackie didn’t have to take any threats • Jackie was said to withstand hatred from his own will, determination, and for the name of baseball • Jackie did not just have to worry about making plays and performing well like his other team mates, but keeping his life

  7. His Legacy • Jackie was quickly inducted into the hall of fame in 1962 • After Robinson’s short MLB career of 9 years a huge door was opened • MLB was now open to many of the great negro players like Yoggi Berra • Jackie also proved one of his main goals…that the African-American Race can do everything the Caucasians can.

  8. Finisher • This whole Presentation is to educate people on the life goals Jackie Robinson achieved, and to understand that he did this knowing his life was in jeopardy. A huge thanks to the impact Jackie Robinson has on our society today.
