About my father Jackie Robinson

Sharon Robinson wrote this article because of the anniversary marking the time when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier on April 15. The main idea is to inform people about Jackie Robinson's career. In the article, Sharon talks about robinson's awards, the seasons he played and the challenges he faced to succeed. There were separate leagues for colored people. He had to know if Robinson was good enough. If he didn't have strength of character he would have fought back when people were being racist towards him. Jackie Robinson succeeded in destroying the color barrier because 13 seasons later there was at least one colored player on each Major League Baseball team.

Driscrimination in my own words is treating people differently because of who they are or how they look. Discrimination could be against gender, race, color of your skin, appearance, religion, and sexual orientation.

When is their dignity in silence?

There is dignity in silence when someone accuses you of doing something that you did not do. Normally if someone yells at you and claims you did a certain thing that you know for a fact you did not do you would yell back and increase the angry tone of the mood. It takes a big person to calmly reply to an angry accusation. It's satisfying proving them wrong and being calm about it. It is even more satisfying when a stubborn person accuses you of something because they won't give up even when you present clear facts and evidence against their claim. They will still try to be right even after you've proven them wrong.
