Short Biography

Jackie Robinson made history as the first African American to play baseball in the Major Leagues when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946. Mr. Robinson was never the subject of an FBI investigation; however, his name came to the attention of the FBI as a result of activities with various groups, such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In 1949 he testified before the House Committee on Un-American Activities at hearings regarding Communist Infiltration of Minority Groups.
