Description
5/18/22 - Added a new question.
The film 42 does an excellent job of showing the trials of Jackie Robinson's first season in MLB. As the first African American baseball player in the major leagues, he was criticized and spoken down to over and over again, yet he persevered through the racial slurs and attacks that he received. With the help of some close friends and family, Jackie Robinson was able to not just make history as the first African American ball player - but also to become one of its absolute best players.
I have created a list of questions for students to answer while watching the film. The questions help the students explore not only the real history of the events that unfold in the film but also some of the sociological struggles in the United States during this time period.
If you have any questions, concerns, or you see errors - please feel free to contact me so that I can work on them. Thank you!
