This article states that Jackie Robinson, became an important role model in history. In 1945, Jackie Robinson broke Major League baseball's color barrier. Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers, now known as the Los Angeles Dodgers. During this period in time, Jackie brought controversy to the game because if the color of his skin. But Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey knew Jackie was a strong individual, able to defend himself; ignore all bias and racist insults from a hostile crowd.
This article states many primary sources, because it states Robinson's career in the Majors and make you feel like you were Jackie Robinson. It also states how Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, and who spurred his popularity in Baseball. Now I must know what made him want to play baseball, even after facing bias comments.

2nd Annotation NHD
© 1996-2008 A&E Television Networks.
Despite the racial abuse, particularly at away games, Robinson had an outstanding start with the Royals, leading the International League with a .349 batting average and .985 fielding percentage. His excellent year led to a promotion to the Dodgers, with his debut game on April 15, 1947, marking the first time an African-American athlete played in the major leagues.The harassment did not end, however, most notably by the Philadelphia Phyllis and their manager Ben Chapman. Many players on opposing teams threatened not to play against the Dodgers. Even his own teammates threatened to sit out. But Dodgers manager Leo Durocher informed them that he would sooner trade them than Robinson, setting the tone for the rest of Robinson's career with the team.
Primary source because it has the same information as my other source but this has a little more.
The intended audience is everyone because we are created equal and it doesn't matter what color your skin is.
The background of the author is african american.
