The movie Hidden Figures staring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monae could be used to demonstrate how African Americans are credited for making diversity in sports look like American dream. The man who started making integration the American way was Jackie Robinson in 1947 by breaking the color line in major league baseball with the then Brooklyn Dodgers. All sports of the world should bow down and pray; “God, thank you for giving us Jackie Robinson.”
