How did the color barrier prevent black baseball players from playing in the Majors before 1947?
they were putting them in the Negroooooooo (No racism tho) league and that was preventing them to join the MLB
1. Because Sharon was her daughter
2. To prove black people can do the same things then white people
1.That at the beginning in the basetball there was that person has the white skin and was him the first one with the skin black has to go into a league of baseball. for exemple, the period in American history when black-and brown-skinned ballplayers.

Number two : that was suppose to prevent racism and to understand that not a color of skin who made the player
1.I learned that in past,racism was too present.People black were not accepted.
2.Personnaly,i think that Sharon wrote this article for prouve that people black or with brown skins are humans.The article’s main idea is we want that world accepts people with black skin are real people.They are like an other person,they are not different.
3.until 1947,black and brown skinned players were in the negro leagues,while whites played in the majors.
4.Rickey was the first athlete at UCLA to letter in four sports in a single year
5.to fight back with hid bat rather than his first.

His accomplishments are Leading basketball scorere in his conference , the naional champion in the long jump , an all-american halfback in football and a varsity baseball shortshop . Robinson was the first black athlete at UCLA.

1. to say than Jackle Robinson do a thing who change the sport for black people
2. The main idea of the article is to prove than the black people can do sport like white people and do an better job than the white.
3.
The idea of the article is to prove if you are good at something like Jackie Robinson in baseball and you are different to other guys, the people don’t need the want to kill Jackie just because he is different.I think for me this a good exemple in the history of rascim and sport.
1/ She wrote this article because her father wanted to broke the barrier betwen the black people and white.
2/ The main idea is the barrier against black and brown skinned ballplayers.By example <>
3/ Because the white people do not want the negro leagues.
4/ Jackie Robinson played shortstop. He hit 387, perfected his skill at stealing bases , and was selected for the league ´s All-Star Game. Branch Rickey president and general manager of the Brook Lyn Dodgers , stepped forward To Break baseball’s color barrier
Very good job Djenaba! Keep working hard!
•Because,jackie robinson is a legend in every sport .Everybody got to know him because i think he is the best athlet of all time in all sport .His number as remove in all baseball stade.
•I think the main idea or the article is to show to everyone that jackie robinson was a great athlete.
•With the negro ligue
•Because, his statistics in the UCLA was very very greatfull
•Because if jackie as not a strenght character he does not be rendered here because all bullying he received

1.Sharon Robinson wrote this article for explain when her father broke the color barrier in1957.
2.Talk about many good action of jackie robinson for change the racism. He was selected for play in the league All-Star Game.
3.With the color barrier the players with black skin or brown skin can’t play in the major league, they play in the Negro league. The color barrier separate the black and white skin, she separate the race, the culture and the religion.
4.This caracter help jackie when he need to pass on bad period.
5.For help Jackie Robinson help others race to enter in the major league.
Your work is consistent and you are progressing really well!! Great job Alexane!
1. I think that Sharon Robinson wrote this article because she was proud of her father and because she wanted to share with us how brave was Jackie Robinson.
2. The main idea of the article it’s to prove that it’s not the color of our skin who definines us, it’s what we are doing to mark set our apart from the others. It’s not everybody who understands that, because white people didn’t accept black people until 1947
3. They did a “negro leagues” for the black and brown skins players and white players were in the Majors
4. Jackie Robinson’s college statistics at UCLA and his accomplishments with the Kansas city Monarchs were important information for Branch Rickey, because Rickey learned that while at UCLA, Jackie was the leading basketball scorer in his conference, the national champion in the long jump, an All-American halfback in football, and he was the first black in UCLA.
5. To be brave and to fight back against racist people.
6. Jackie Robinson just ignored the insults of other people and never giver up. He played for 10 years in a Majors league baseball team and he continued to break barriers.
Sara! You are a great student and your work demonstrates this! Your work “definines you! ” lol
Seriously, I am very impressed with your level of English.
That at the beginning in the basetball there was that person has the white skin and was him the first one with the skin black has to go into a league of baseball. for exemple, the period in American history when black-and brown-skinned ballplayers.
2. this article is for the white person accept the black and brown-skinned players in the leagues of baseball .not just the whites skins
3-in 1947 black-and brown-skinned players were in the negro leagues,while whites played in the Majors
4-for rickey learned that while at UCLA,because he dad was the leading basketball scorer in this conference
5-rickey was testing whether my father would have the strength of character to fight back with his bat
6-the leagues of baseball accept rickey and continue have racism,culture,langues
