The Jackie Robinson Story
Written by Mary Hall Surface
February 2 – 18, 2018
Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947 and showed a segregated country that the talent of the player -- and not the color of his skin -- are what make him a valuable member of a team. Robinson faced overwhelming prejudice with perseverance and dignity, and his courage, along with the courage of family and teammates, tells a story that will generate empathy, engagement and pride for the students of your classroom.
Themes: Civil rights, segregation in U.S. history, personal courage, teamwork
Recommended for grades 3 and up
