What did J.Robinson / Rosa Parks do to fight discrimination / and long term effects on US / America?
Jackie Robinson:
Jackie Robinson broke organized baseball's color barrier with a characteristic bang, homering and scoring four runs in his historic first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers' top farm team. This anniversary will no doubt unleash a wave of media meditations, since it combines the two national pastimes of the American male intellectual: denouncing racism and waxing nostalgic over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Spike Lee is preparing The Jackie Robinson Saga, and I'm sure Stephen Jay Gould will favor us with his thoughts.
Rosa Parks:
When she refused to leave her seat because it was a white passenger seat on a city bus, which was the reason that sent her to the prison. Then the black people stop using the city bus. That lead to the end of the seat discrimination. this was one of the events that is generally seen as the beginning of a decade-long battle against segregation which mobilized millions and won the support of workers all over the world.
