My Childhood

My name is Jackie Robinson I was born in Cairo,Georgia January 31,1919.My mother was Mallie Robinson and my father was Jerry Robinson.I had four siblings Mack Robinson,Edgar Robinson,Willa Mae Robinson,and Frank Robinson.An important event in my life was when I was younger and I was sweeping the side walk and this girl across the street started yelling mean things at me because the color of my skin, then her father started throwing rocks at me, I guess that event is what made me speak out and do the things I did,I think thats what made me want to do baseball and other things to prove that I'm just the same as anyone else and should be treated equal to white americans.
