Kenny Garcia’s Reviews > I Never Had It Made : An Autobiography of Jackie Robinson > Status Update

"We can't fight our way through this, Robinson. We've got no army. There's virtually no one on our side." (Robinson 32)

I chose this quote because it shows how courageous Jackie was because he knew that the league would be extremely racist yet he went for it.

"They made it quite clear to the Army that they would nit player a team with a black on it." (Robinson 18)

This quote is just the beginning of what Robinson has to deal with in the future.

"My mother was thirty when we started out for California." (Robinson 7).

This quote shows the start of a new life for Jackie Robinson and all of his family, and the start of something huge.
