    Jack Roosevelt Robinson was an American professional baseball player who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball in the modern era. Robinson broke the baseball color line when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947.

    He is a symbol of integration because he played with whites or against whites, as a black player and changed the mind of many Americans during this period.
