Some Sample Anecdotes:

- Jackie Robinson, the African American who integrated modern major-league baseball with the Brooklyn Dodgers, was an activist long before he became famous. As a boy, he and his friends would sometimes go to the movie theater and sit in the white-people-only seats. When that happened, the police would arrive to get them out of those seats. Later, while he was playing with the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro Leagues, his team's tour bus pulled up at a gas station in Oklahoma. African Americans were allowed to buy gas there, but the men's restroom bore this sign: WHITE MEN ONLY. Mr. Robinson walked to the restroom, and the gas station owner told him that he couldn't use that restroom. Mr. Robinson then said, Take that hose out of the tank. The gas station owner did not want to lose any business, so he allowed Mr. Robinson to use the restroom. After that, the Kansas City Monarchs never bought gas at a gas station where they weren't allowed to use the restroom. As Mr. Robinson explained, This is America, man.
