Answer:
He faced his adversity head-on and did what was right.
Explanation: The man described in the poem "If We Must Die" was a person who did what was right during his life. He did this by facing all adversity he faced head-on and didn't cower down and stop trying. He did all he could to preserve his dignity throughout his rough times.
In line 13 of the poem it states " “the murderous, cowardly pack” that he stood up too. This shows how he fought against diversity and didn't run from the problem and fought to the death.
In comparison with the poem, Jackie Robinson stood up to racism head on. In paragraph 5, the author discusses the time Mr. Robinson was jailed because he did not agree with and disputed the officers arrest of his black friend.
