MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 21, 1946: The Los Angeles Rams signed Kenny Washington, the first professional African American football player in the U.S. since 1933. His father played baseball in the negro leagues. His uncle was the first black lieutenant in the LAPD. In college, he played both baseball and football. He was a teammate of Jackie Robinson’s at UCLA. Many people thought he was a better baseball player than Robinson. Leo Durocher supposedly offered him a contract to play major league baseball, but only if he played in Puerto Rico first, which Washington refused to do.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nfl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nfl</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LARams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LARams</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KennyWashington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KennyWashington</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JackieRobinson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JackieRobinson</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lapd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lapd</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mlb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mlb</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ucla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ucla</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackMastadon</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/football" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#football</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/baseball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baseball</a>

Karen E. Lund 💙💛<a href="https://mstdn.social/@GottaLaff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GottaLaff</a> I have been a Mets fan since I was nine years old. (That’s more than half a century, in case you were curious.) My Dad was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan. Mom visited relatives in Montreal in 1946 and they took her to a Royals game. (She wasn't a baseball fan yet. That happened after she met Dad. But she was there.)

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History July 6, 1944: Four years before breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball, Jackie Robinson refused to move to the back of a military bus, leading to a court-martial. He was acquitted by an all-white jury of nine officers. Fortunately, the court proceedings prevented his deployment and he finished World War II without seeing combat. The following year, Branch Rickey began to recruit him to play for the Dodgers. When he asked Robinson if he could take the racist epithets that would likely be hurled at him, he said, “Are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?” Rickey said, “No, I’m looking for one with guts enough NOT to fight back.”<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mlb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mlb</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/baseball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baseball</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jackierobinson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jackierobinson</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jimcrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jimcrow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dodgers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dodgers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackMastadon</a>

The Conversation U.S.One fact you might not know about <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/JackieRobinson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JackieRobinson</a>: he was a Republican. Millions of Blacks were also Republicans at the time. Robinson even endorsed Nixon in the election of 1960.
