Jackie Robinson & The Fall Of Bronzeville

The integration of Jackie Robinson into baseball caused an economic vacuum, and the African American community is still recovering from it. Since the affair is very extensive, you only need to look at one block, the bronze building neighborhood on the south side of Chicago to see all the effects. Between 1910 and 1930, the black population in the north increased by an average of about 20%. This is called "mass migration", and African Americans advance north to find work. The work in the south is insufficient as cotton crops are affected by swabs.

Jackie Robinson is the fifth child born to tenant parents Jerry Robinson and Marie McGlyf Robinson of Cairo, Georgia. His ancestor was a slave of the same property that Jackie's parents brought up. When Jackie was six months old, Jerry left his family to go to Texas to find a job, he promised to send his family if he calmed down. But Jerry Robinson never went back. (In 1921, Mallie learned that Jerry died, but could not confirm this rumor.) After trying to make the farm independent, Mallie realized that this was impossible . She needs to find another way to feed her family, but I feel that staying in Georgia is no longer safe. In the summer of 1919, especially in the southeastern states, violent racial riots and black lynches occurred. Looking for a more lenient environment, Mary and some of her relatives gathered their money to buy a train ticket.

Jackie Robinson, actually called Jack Roosevelt Robinson, was born in Cairo, Georgia in 1919 and was born into a family of tenants. His mother, Mary Robinson, raised Jackie and her other four children. They are a black family being blocked and the prejudice they encounter only strengthens their relationship. From this inconspicuous start, the first batch of baseball players will be an obstacle to breaking the color barriers of the major league baseball that has been isolated for more than 50 years. When Jackie was only 16 months old, his father left. His mother decided to move her family to California. When they arrived in California, they lived with his mother's brother Barton. Before they arrived in California, his mother arranged to look for other living conditions; Burton 's house was too crowded, so Jackie' s mother laundered and did the washing. She did not have enough money to work, but she went to welfare to seek help.
