A very important element in American culture today is sports, especially amongst blacks.
The struggle for blacks to participate in sports was a difficult encounter in the earlier.
1900's. However, due to various black leaders, such as Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson,.
they have open many doors for African Americans. My paper will discuss the significance.
and the positive affects that prominent black leaders engaged in to allow future African.
Americans equal rights to participate in sports. I will also illustrate how African.
American's developed a sense of connection with their culture through sports and made.
several sacrifices to show that all men and women are created equal. Throughout my.
paper I will focus on two major sports that African Americans made a impact on. Track.
and field, and baseball will be my two major focuses for my paper. I hope to give a better.
understanding about the important role that black athletes played on breaking down racial.
barriers and changing American history.
