Jackie Robinson, Civil Rights Advocate Postwar United States (1945 to early 1970s) Primary Source Research & Classroom Resources Jackie Robinson, Civil Rights Advocate To the average man in the average American community, Jackie Robinson was just what the sports pages said he was, no more, no less. He was the first Negro to play baseball in the major leagues. Everybody knew that. . . . In remembering him, I tend to de-emphasize him as a ball player and emphasize him as an informal civil rights leader. That's the part that drops out, that people forget.
