Jackie Robinson: My Own Story is a memoir written by the legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson himself. The book chronicles Robinson's life, from his early childhood in Georgia to his college years at UCLA and his groundbreaking career in Major League Baseball. Robinson was the first African American to play in the MLB, and his story is one of courage, perseverance, and determination in the face of racism and discrimination.Through his own words, Robinson shares his experiences of growing up in a segregated society, his struggles to break into professional baseball, and the challenges he faced as a black athlete in a predominantly white sport. He also discusses his personal life, including his marriage to Rachel Robinson, his family, and his activism in the civil rights movement.The book offers a unique insight into Robinson's life and career, as well as the social and political climate of the time. Robinson's writing is candid and honest, and his story is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Jackie Robinson: My Own Story is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of baseball, civil rights, and the African American experience in America.This is a new release of the original 1948 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
