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 the U.S. Army bus in Texas and found himself court-martialed. The defiant soldier was Jack Roosevelt Robinson. This was the pivotal moment in his pre-MLB career.
