Jackie did not just simply integrate Major League Baseball; he opened a door for fans to eventually enjoy players from all over the world. The 'think tank' additions are an excellent way to make his story relatable. There are so many jump-off points to a number of events in American history―the Great Depression, Negro League Baseball heroes, World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, and of course, the integration of Major League Baseball. I look forward to sharing this with every parent of a young reader that I know.\" \n\u003cb\u003e―Belinda J.

Dr. Leslie not only chronicles the amazing life and character of this hero and civil rights activist but also speaks to concepts such as equality, injustice, equity, and political movements. Throughout the timeline of Lewis' life, readers learn about faith, courage, and the pivotal events that built the foundation for the open society we live in today. Dr. Leslie gives readers the opportunity to think critically about how they would take political and spiritual action to make social change.
