In this issue, the barrier-busting life of Jackie Robinson, for kids, gets the full run-down, from his early days as a spirited child, growing up on a plantation in Georgia, to his eventual inclusion in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. Students will learn how Robinson stood up to discrimination as a young soldier during World War II, refusing to sit in the “Negro” section of a military bus, and how he took this attitude of quiet determination with him when he joined the Dodgers as the first black player in 1947 and much more.
