Discirmination
Jackie went through alot of Racism and discrimination. Usually Blacks played on all black leagues called negro leagues. In 1887 they were forced to stop playing when a white player and his team boycotted playing baseball when a black player tried to pitch the ball. At this time there was still racism going on at public places and at schools. Even with jackie being a famous player on the baseball leagues resteraunts and hotels would not let the team stay there, because of Jackies color.
