Once Jackie did make it to the big leagues, people would make racist gestures and say hurtful words to him nonstop. Many people in his position would have quit because they couldn't handle it, but he didn’t

When asked who broke the “color line” in baseball, most people would think of Jackie Robinson. An advocate for civil rights as well as an outstanding baseball player, he became a significant figure in American history, and is widely recognized as the first black baseball player in the Major Leagues.
