Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is letter D, Jackie Robinson playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Movement was a long period of struggle for the black people (African American). It covered the period from 1950s to 1960s. One major achievement of this period was the fact that Jackie Robinson, an African American, became the first of his kind to play in America's Major League Baseball.

When Robinson started playing in the field, it gradually ended the racial discrimination that has long been suppressing the African Americans. It broke the color barrier in 1947. Although the decision to allow him to play was met with mixed reactions, his manager stood by him. Many baseball league players also encouraged him to continue playing. He was even recognized and received the "Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award."
