THE COURT-MARTIAL OF JACKIE ROBINSON: The Baseball Legend's Battle for Civil Rights During World War II
Eleven years before Rosa Parks resisted going to the back of the bus, a young Black second lieutenant, hungry to fight Nazis in Europe, refused to move to the back of a U.S. Army bus in Texas, and found himself court-martialed. The defiant soldier was Jackie Robinson, who would go on to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball.
