Jackie Robinson
After coming from a poor family, Jack Roosevelt Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball and went on to become one of the most admired persons in American history. Robinson utilized his tremendous reputation to speak out against the discrimination he saw on and off the field, which angered fans, the press, and even teammates who had formerly celebrated him for "turning the other cheek." Robinson was a fervent integrationist. After his career in baseball, he became a widely-read newspaper columnist, a divisive political activist, and a tireless advocate for civil rights. Later in his life, he struggled to remain relevant as diabetes crippled his body and a new generation of leaders set a more militant course for the civil rights movement. However, he was ultimately successful in doing so.
