"Jackie Robinson's theme is that integration in baseball has proved that Americans can live together in peaceful competition. The theme is developed with a history of Negroes in baseball.

Ball club managers, prominently Branch Rickey, tell why they hired Negroes and how the barriers were broken down.".
