This triumphant story of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to break Major League Baseball's color barrier that segregated the sport for more than 50 years, chronicles the young athlete’s nonviolent struggle to integrate what was then considered a “white man’s game.” Through it all, Jackie’s courage, intelligence, leadership, resilience and athletic skill propelled him to become a national hero.
