Jackie Robinson grew up in a family of five children in Pasadena, California, near Los Angeles. His father had left.

White families who did not want to live near them repeatedly tried to force them to move away.

Jackie won honors in baseball, basketball, football and track. He was named to the All-American football team. He was considered the best athlete on America's west coast.
Jackie Robinson left college early because of financial problems. He joined the United States Army in 1941, during the second World War. He became a lieutenant after boxing champion Joe Louis pushed for Robinson to be trained as an officer. However, after three years, Robinson was dismissed from the army because he objected to a racial order. He refused to move to the back of a bus.Jackie 在靠近美国洛杉矶的加利福尼亚帕萨迪娜的一个五口之家中成长。因为在他小时候他父亲便遗弃了家庭，母亲又赚不了多少钱，所以Jackie从小就学会了独立。也是在加利福尼亚Jackie第一次见识了种族歧视的丑陋。当某些家庭不想和他们住得太近的时候，他们便会不断的迫使他们搬走。
