Jackie Robinson shows up for just "R."

Also wouldn't Fredrick Douglass work for D as well?

The "R" for Jackie Robinson was a typo. I did not notice it until after I submitted the quiz.

I probably should have clarified "D" a little more. I should have mentioned that DuBois helped set up the framework for the Civil Rights Movement by being one of the founders of the NAACP.
