1 The New Colossus By Emma Lazarus 1 Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, 2 With conquering limbs astride from land to land; 3 Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand 4 A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame 5 Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name 6 Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand 7 Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command 8 The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. 9 "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she 10 With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, 11 Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 12 The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 13 Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, 14 I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

3 Play ball! Little League World Series Stars Two Girls By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela staff SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. More than 60 years ago, Kathryn "Tubby" Johnston Massar cut off her braids, tucked her hair under her cap and disguised herself to become the first girl to play Little League baseball. She's delighted today to see two girls in the Little League World Series. "It's truly amazing. I'm very happy to see girls playing," said Massar, 78, of Yuba City, California. On Friday, Philadelphia's Mo'ne Davis and Canada's Emma March became the 17th and 18th girls to ever play in the tournament. It is only the third time in the event's 68-year history that two girls are playing in the same series. Davis pitched as Philadelphia beat Nashville 4-0. She had eight strikeouts, didn't walk a batter and gave up just two hits. Davis, who got louder cheers than any other player during introductions, said she noticed plenty of girls younger than her in the audience. Fans applauded even louder when Davis struck out the final batter. The out made her the first girl to throw a shutout in Little League World Series history. "It's very unreal. I never thought at the age of 13, I would be a role model," Davis said. "Hopefully, more girls play Little League."

4 Almost a Home Run March did not fare as well in her game. She played first base and batted fourth at "cleanup," just ahead of her brother Evan. March went hitless Friday in Canada's 4-3 loss to Mexico. But March created some excitement when she stepped into the batter's box for the Vancouver, British Columbia, team. She drove a long fly ball to right field in the fourth inning that the crowd thought might be a home run. However, the hit sailed foul into the stands. Then in the fifth inning, March stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and Canada down by two runs. With a count of two balls and two strikes, she struck out as she watched a pitch go by that went over the outside corner of home plate. As March trotted back to the dugout, the crowd let the umpire know it didn't agree with the call, as boos rained down from the stands. No More "No Girls Allowed" Massar, chosen to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at one of Monday's games, believes more girls will start to play in Little League and beyond. She thinks eventually there will be a woman in Major League Baseball. Massar played in 1950, leading to a rule barring girls from playing until it was reversed in She describes herself as a "trailblazer" and said she celebrates her role in history. "It's something I'm proud of," she said. "Why not play baseball with the boys?" Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett was on hand to watch Davis' dominating performance. "There's a lot of pressure on her, and she seems to be handling it very, very well for her age," Corbett said during the Philadelphia game, adding that the 13-year-old has a nice pitching delivery. "It goes to show you how sports have moved the last 30 or 40 years, and we wouldn't have thought of this 40 or 50 years ago. And today, she's out there pitching, doing a great job and I'm sitting there thinking, 'Is she going to go into professional baseball?' I don't know." He added, "She's played as well as any kid out there right now." Newsela Staff. "Play Ball! Little League World Series Stars Two Girls."

6 About My Father By Sharon Robinson April 15 marks the anniversary of Jackie Robinson s breaking of the color barrier in Major League Baseball. A student once asked me: What is the color barrier? Baseball s color barrier signifies the time in American history when black- and brown-skinned ballplayers were kept out of the Majors. In 1947, my father, Jackie Robinson, broke through that barrier and opened the door for others to follow. Fifty years later, Breaking Barriers: In Sports, In Life was created to help students understand Jackie Robinson s legacy of change. By participating in this program, you ll come to understand the values that made my father successful on the field, and which also guided him as a parent. You ll likewise discover strengths in your own character to help you overcome barriers in your life. Let s get started! American baseball became popular during the Civil War. Briefly in the late 1800s, two black players, Bud Fowler and Moses Fleetwood Walker, played alongside whites. But by 1890, Major League Baseball, like most of America, was segregated. Until 1947, black- and brown-skinned players were in the Negro Leagues, while whites played in the Majors. In 1945, Branch Rickey, president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, stepped Student Reproducible 1B (Grades 6 8) forward to break baseball s color barrier. He studied the field, using scouts to explore the pool of players. There were many Negro League players who were well-known and proven professional baseball players. Players such as Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson certainly headed the list provided by Mr. Rickey s scouts, but they agreed on Jack Roosevelt Robinson. The scouts told Mr. Rickey that, during his season with the Negro League team the Kansas City Monarchs, Jackie Robinson played shortstop. He hit.387, perfected his skill at stealing bases, and was selected for the league s All-Star Game. They presented my father s college statistics next. Rickey learned that while at UCLA, my dad was the leading basketball scorer in his conference, the national champion in the long jump, an All-American halfback in football, and a varsity baseball shortstop. In fact, he was the first athlete at UCLA to letter in four sports in a single year. In a now-famous meeting, Branch Jackie Robinson with daughter Sharon. Jackie Robinson sliding into home, Rickey painted the stressful conditions my father would face in the Majors. Rickey role-played a racist fan shouting angry insults. A spiteful opponent might spike him with metal cleats. Rickey was testing whether my father would have the strength of character to fight back with his bat rather than his fist. My father agreed to this approach. Two months later, he signed with the Montreal Royals, the Dodgers farm team. As predicted, my dad played baseball against amazing odds. He fought back with perfectly timed bunts, hard line drives, and Rickey was testing whether my father would have the strength of character to fight back with his bat rather than his fist. stolen bases. On April 15, 1947, Jack Roosevelt Robinson stepped onto the grass of Ebbets Field as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. He went on to play 10 seasons, earning such awards as Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player. It took 13 long seasons before every Major League Baseball team had at least one African-American player on its roster. Today, Major League Baseball players come from around the world and continue to break barriers of culture, language, race, and religion. Like you, they face barriers and meet challenges with the same set of values that helped my father succeed on and off the field. Photo, top: Courtesy Robinson Family. Photo, bottom: AP Images.

7 Student Reproducible 2 Values And Barriers David Wright, New York Mets GLOSSARY OF TERMS VALUE: A belief that is important to you and helps to guide your life. BARRIER: A problem or obstacle that stops you from moving forward. We all face barriers in our lives, even Major League Baseball players. Read below to see how some of these ballplayers face barriers by using Jackie Robinson s Nine Values. TORII HUNTER Detroit Tigers If there are any obstacles in your way, you need to be determined to dodge them and keep going Whatever it takes to be the best, determination will get you there. All I want to do is just go out there and play the best I can possibly play. That s excellence to me. RYAN HOWARD Philadelphia Phillies Persistence and determination will carry you through, I call this willing yourself to succeed. RICKY ROMERO Toronto Blue Jays Being successful demands cultivating internal values that guide the way in which you conduct yourself both on and off the field. Seeing the courage and integrity displayed by Jackie Robinson throughout his life has had a great influence on me. ADAM JONES Baltimore Orioles JACKIE ROBINSON S NINE VALUES: COURAGE Doing what you know is the right thing even when it is hard to do DETERMINATION Staying focused on a plan even though the path to its end may be difficult TEAMWORK Working with other people toward a common goal PERSISTENCE Working toward a goal and continuing to move forward even though you face obstacles or barriers INTEGRITY Sticking to your values, regardless of what others think you should do CITIZENSHIP Making a contribution that improves the lives of others JUSTICE Treating all people fairly, no matter who they are COMMITMENT Making a promise and following through on it EXCELLENCE Doing the best that you possibly can To learn more about Major League players and breaking barriers, visit MLB.com/BREAKINGBARRIERS.
