What was unfair about Major League Baseball in the 1940's?

1 answer

In the 1940s, Major League Baseball had a policy of racial segregation, which meant that African American players were not allowed to play in the league. This policy was unjust and discriminatory, as it denied talented players the opportunity to compete at the highest level simply because of their race. This policy was not overturned until 1947, when Jackie Robinson became the first African American player to break the color barrier and play in the Major Leagues.
