Journal On Black History Month

One of the people I admire most from black history month has got to be Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson was born on January 31st, 1919 in Cairo, Georgia. The thing that is so special about Jackie is that he was the first african american man to play in the MLB (Major League Baseball). Before he played in the MLB he played in the Negro League which is a baseball league that is for all african american baseball players. He made an MLB debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers. While he played for the Dodgers he was a 6 time all star, 1947 MLB rookie of the year, 1947 NL(national league) MVP, and he also won the world series in 1955. Not only was Jackie a great ball player, but he was also a great man. Without Jackie Robinson there might be no african american people playing in the MLB today. Can you even imagine what the world would be like without all of Martin Luther King Jr.'s work? There would be a bathroom and water fountains for white and for the colored. The world would not be anything close to what it is today. With all the hatrid our world would have it would be nothing but chaos. The world would be a painful place to live in and a painful place to look around at. These people are so great there is a month just to honor them. All of these people deserve something more than just a month of honoring them. I'm sure Martin Luther King Jr. would love to see what he made the life like today but sadly he didn't live a very long life because of his assasination. I'm sure he would be pleased and very proud of what his work and effort made the world like today.
