About This Quote
Let me remind you of what got me this far, picture me quitting, now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, sl#t! This is a beautiful quote by Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson did many great things in his life. He was the first black man to play major league baseball. And he broke the color barrier in the majors when he made his debut in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
But one of his greatest achievements was that he never gave up when he got knocked down by racism. When people said that the best way to deal with racism was to quit, Jackie Robinson refused to do so and kept on fighting for equality in the United States. His quote shows us that we should not give up when we get knocked down by racism and injustice in our lives and we should fight for what we believe, but we should keep in mind that even if we succeed there is no honor in giving up.
