Answer:

I hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

Well by the 1940s organized baseball had been racially segregated for many years. In 1945, the Jim Crow policies of baseball changed forever when Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson of the Negro League's Kansas City Monarchs agreed to a contract that would bring Robinson into the major leagues in 1947.
