Dixie Walker was opposed to Jackie Robinson or any other African American playing in the Major Leagues. He would later admit that this was not due to personal animosity, but rather to parental pressure, as he was concerned that playing with a black player would jeopardize his business. Others thought Walker's racism was far more virulent.
he started a protest so that Robinson would removed from the roster some rumors even say he went as far to start a petition
he well deserved an apology after this yet never got one.
