This New York Times Bestselling picture book biography series by Brad Meltzer has an inspiring message: We can all be heroes. Jackie Robinson always loved sports, especially baseball. But he lived at a time before the Civil Rights Movement, when the rules weren't fair to African Americans. Even though Jackie was a great athlete, he wasn't allowed on the best teams just because of the color of his skin. Jackie knew that sports were best when everyone, of every color, played together. He became the first black player in Major League Baseball, and his bravery changed African-American history and led the way to equality in all sports in America. This engaging series is the perfect way to bring American history to life for young children, providing them with the right role models, supplemementing Common Core learning in the classroom, and best of all, inspiring them to strive and dream.

The Court-Martial of Jackie Robinson

The Court-Martial of Jackie Robinson

Eleven years before Rosa Parks resisted going to the back of the bus, a young black second lieutenant, hungry to fight Nazis in Europe, refused to move to the back of a U.S. Army bus in Texas and found himself court-martialed. The defiant soldier was Jack Roosevelt Robinson, already in 1944 a celebrated athlete in track and football and in a few years the man who would break Major League Baseball’s color barrier. This was the pivotal moment in Jackie Robinson’s pre-MLB career. Had he been found guilty, he would not have been the man who broke baseball’s color barrier. Had the incident never happened, he would’ve gone overseas with the Black Panther tank battalion—and who knows what after that. Having survived this crucible of unjust prosecution as an American soldier, Robinson—already a talented multisport athlete—became the ideal player to integrate baseball.This is a dramatic story, deeply engaging and enraging. It’s a Jackie Robinson story and a baseball story, but it is also an army story as well as an American story.

What Became of Little Jackie Smith?

What Became of Little Jackie Smith?

Vickie Smith Odabashian

Victoria Lazarian Heritage Association

pokkari
In 1950, Victoria Smith leaped to her death in Fresno, California, leaving many to wonder about the 10-year-old son she left behind. "What Became of Little Jackie Smith?: A True Story Continued" is a sequel to Victoria's Smith's life story, "Victoria's Secret: A Conspiracy of Silence" (recipient of an honorable mention award in the Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards in 2001). In this follow-up biography, Vickie Smith Odabashian describes how Little Jackie Smith handled his mother's tragic death and the struggles he encountered from childhood through his many adventures in far-flung locations in his adulthood. This story is the author's loving tribute to her father, his courage to move forward, and his hard work and dedication to making the world a better place. "This is a riveting book which I found difficult to put down. It chronicles the life of a child who was abandoned and often left to parent himself, and the many challenges he overcame in his quest to become a man. Despite a child with few consistent role models, he was a loving father, a compassionate and courageous law enforcement officer, and a devoted friend. As a therapist who has worked for many years with abused children, I am in awe of Jack's resilience and his lifelong commitment and concern for the welfare of others. This book will serve as hope to many who wonder how to rise above and find meaning in situations that often feel overwhelming. This is a story of the resilience of the human spirit and finding faith in humanity." - Ann C. Leber, LMFT "Vickie has written an inspiring story of how her father grew from an abandoned and abused child who conquered every obstacle to become a gentleman who served his country in the military and his community as a peace officer, treating everyone with dignity and respect along the journey." - Perry L. Reniff, Retired Butte County Sheriff Vickie Smith (Foston) Odabashian began working as an educator in 1993. In 1999, she earned a Master's Degree in Sociology, and in 2001, self-published her first book, Victoria's Secret: A Conspiracy of Silence. Vickie and her husband, Glen, reside in Northern California near their immediate family-including five adult children and ten grandchildren (some of whom are pictured in the group photo that follows).

In 1945, Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers--an important milestone in America's struggle for racial equality. For eighty years, this historical decision has inspired countless films, musicals, plays, dissertations, essays, articles, and of course, books. Most of these focus on the Black ballplayer who heroically integrated our national pastime and the White baseball executive who heroically defied the national pastime's secret-not-so-secret policy of segregation. The story of Rickey and Robinson represents only one episode in a dynamic civil rights movement during World War II. In fact, between Pearl Harbor and Robinson's signing, NAACP membership grew from 18,000 to 520,000. This book reframes the conventional narrative of baseball's integration to include those who fought against employment discrimination on and off the field during the war. They celebrated Robinson's signing in 1945 as a consequence of their own activism, a long-fought victory, and this book makes the case for understanding this historical decision in just that context.
