Read the passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.

At the outset of Jackie Robinson’s career, leagues were still segregated. Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. Branch knew Jackie would face some tough times, and Branch made him promise not to fight back when he faced this racism, which often came from his own teammates. On April 15, 1947, Jackie became the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues. He led in stolen bases and had an outstanding batting average, earning the honor of Rookie of the Year. Despite the ongoing racism that Jackie faced from some teammates, crowds, and players from other teams, he earned the National League’s Most Valuable Player award in 1949. In his decade-long career with the Dodgers, Jackie helped his team win the National League pennant several times. In 1955, he helped them achieve the greatest victory of all: the World Series.
