Robinson battled discrimination throughout his life and when in the majors by speaking out against the racism attacks on him which led to publicity for the Civil Rights movement.

As a matter of fact when Robinson began to speak out his mind in the 1950s, his statements angered many players, owners, and fans throughout baseball.
