Diversity in 42

In the film 42, we see the perspective of Jackie Robinson and everything going on in his time involving racism, gender and race role, diversity in school, sports, and everywhere pretty much. Jackie Robinson is the first African American to be a part of Major League Baseball, and throughout all the films, books, newspapers, tv programs, we all truly did not see what all were hiding of the truth of how Jackie Robinson dealt or went through all these things and how dismantled the system truly was. In the 1930's Civil Rights groups, communist, Negro Press, and white activist all began campaigns to integrate the game of baseball. It was more or less a type of movement for discrimination in housing, society and jobs. All lead for a federal anti-lynching laws, boycotts against stores who were segregated, marches for blacks to join WWII. A term at the time used by many white shop owner was "Dont shop where you cant work", which created many hate crimes and distruption of those who were colored even just walking the streets at any time of the day.

Many people in matter of time always wish they could go back and live in the 50's 70's and 90's, but do not realize the chaos and harm the people had to go through at those times. Making a difference is something, but living without doing anything is something else as we are raised to accept people and who they are, once given the right to speak freely of our mind, the sky has no limit. Seeing someone struggle, is the least thing we want out of this world, only time and ourselves can make up for the past mistakes and create hope for what has yet to come.
