Summary

Branch Rickey thought that it was unfair that blacks didn't have the same rights as whites had.
At first, Branch Rickey was a coach in Ohio Wesleyan and he had a player named Charley Thomas. He was black and didn't have the same rights. He really couldn't do anything about it so he was planning on doing a "new experiment". He was looking for a black player to be willing to play for the major league . Wendell Smith told Branch Rickey that Jackie Robinson was the one for the experiment. After that Branch Rickey tested him if he was really willing to do the experiment. Jackie Robinson passed and he did it. They succeeded in the experiment and Jackie controlled himself from many names that white people called him.
