Respect for others quote: "I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All i ask is that you respect me as a human being"-Jackie Robinson
This quote was said by Jackie Robinson who was born on January 31, 1919 and died October 24, 1972. The significance of this man and this quotation is that Jackie Robinson was the first black baseball player to play in the MLB, he played nine seasons. I think this quote is significant in this situation because it seems obvious that there were alot of problems with him being the first black professional baseball player and was not given the respect from fans and people around the league that he deserved. This quote connects to my concept because it describes the respect for other human beings that I believe everyone deserves, it is describing that you do not need to like a certain individual, but still respect them as another human should...
