Question

which best identifies jackie robinson’s reason for writing his letter to president eisenhower?

• he hopes that the president will take immediate action to curb segregation laws at the federal level.
• he believes that the president should punish governor faubus for his inexcusable actions.
• he feels that the president has too much sympathy for pro - segregationists like governor faubus.
• he thinks that the president should be commended for his remarks at the summit meeting of negro leaders.

Explanation:

Jackie Robinson's 1958 letter to President Eisenhower expressed frustration with the slow progress on civil rights, urging the president to take immediate federal action to address segregation laws and the violence/inequity faced by Black Americans. The other options are incorrect: he did not focus on punishing Faubus as the core goal, did not claim Eisenhower had too much sympathy for segregationists, and he criticized the president's remarks at the summit, not commended them.

Answer:

He hopes that the president will take immediate action to curb segregation laws at the federal level.
