Hello, I am currently in a university oral communication class. We were assigned an informative speech where we can describe a process to the class that they may not know much about. I want to talk about how there were many people who helped the color barrier be broken, however, it seems like everything I search just results in web pages about Jackie Robinson. Does anyone know any sites or people i should be researching? I hope it is okay to post this here, thank you for any help.
Ernie Banks-the 1st african-american to play for the Cubs
Branch Rickey was the General Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers who signed Jackie Robinson. He played as big a role in successfully breaking the color barrier as Jackie Robinson did.
Larry Doby would also be worth reading about. He played for the Cleveland Indians, and was the first African American player in the American League.
