Social Justice
Clip: 4/11/2016 | 4m 19sVideo has Closed Captions
As the push for social justice accelerated, Jackie Robinson tried to do his part.
The Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education outlaws racial segregation in schools, but it does not mean total change at once. The reaction in the South is immediate and angry. As the push for social justice accelerated across the country, Robinson tried to do his part, but old customs remained entrenched both in the North and South.
