Storyline
The early life of the future baseball star is told here. Jackie Robinson was a young college student and athlete who learned never to take racist attacks lying down. This eventually gets him into trouble when he is drafted in World War II and assigned to a Texas training camp deep in the racist south. The film climaxes when Jackie Robinson must face a court-martial for insubordination when he refused to go to the back of the bus when the white bus driver ordered him, knowing that he was in his rights to do so.

I want to say that this is the best show on tv. I like Andre Braugher because he is the best actor. I want to vote for Andre and I really want to meet him sometime. I wish that he was in New York so that we can talk to each other. I want to say that I saw it for the first time and I love it. Thanks everyone for your time.
