Jackie Robinson-
Jackie Robinson was the first African American in the MLB. THIS WAS A BIG STEP IN GETTING AFRICAN AMERICANS THEIR RIGHTS after constantly being discriminated. Two of his famous plays were the leaping catch at first, and him stealing home. People threatened him but he kept playing for those rights. He was inducted into the hall of fame his first year of being nominated. He started the end of discrimination, and helped blacks be treated equally, to play in sports just like whites,

Total outcome-
In all these 11 people stopped segregation, had blacks be able to play the same things as whites in the same league, and helped blacks stand up for themselves and not be discriminated. Jackie lived until 2001, MLKJ WAS ASSASSINATION IN '68, and I don't know what happened to little rock, but what I know is these 11 outstanding people shouldn't ever be forgotten.
