- When Jackie Robinson heard President Dwight D. Eisenhower suggest that black Americans must have patience regarding civil rights, he felt a sense of frustration and indignation.
- Although the specifics of what he felt like doing are not documented in a way that can be quoted without speculation, it can be inferred from his actions and writings that he disagreed with the notion of waiting patiently for rights that he believed should be immediate and unconditional.
- He had been an active civil rights advocate, and his feelings likely stemmed from his direct experience with racial discrimination and the struggle for equality. His advocacy for civil rights was evident in his support for direct action and equal treatment for African Americans.
