American Hero Passage

"During Robinson's first year he endured racism, taunting, and intolerance. Some of his teammates even threatened to stop playing rather than have Jackie as a teammate."
I chose this quote because it talks about the hardships of Jackie Robinson's early baseball career. The significance of the quote is that just because he was treated unfairly, he knew that he should be aloud to play baseball too. The significance is that he knew what was right and he followed through with it despite the rough time. Also, I learned from this passage that if something is hard you can work through it and be successful.
