Jackie became a highly respected figure by continually succeeding on and off the field.The vast amount of energy Jackie spent avoiding many unexpected difficulties could have caused an ordinary man to lose heart; rather, Jackie tried his best to increase his efforts for positive civil rights changes, both in his sport and in the AfricanAmerican community at large. While many athletes today use their status to live as super stars, Jackie always made use of his status to advance the civil rights movement. He often used his baseball travels as opportunities to speak publicly to blacks in US. cities about ending segregation and defending their_rights.Postbaseball, Jackie became a businessman, but he still found time to write letters and telegrams to various US. presidents during the civil rights movement.
