Yes it did. His integration into the Dodgers was a symbol for all people, both black and white, that racial integration was a good thing. Little boys and girls (who were black) had new goals, goals that did not relegate them into racial subjugation. Many critics argue that Robinson's fame was the beginning of the end to racial segregation in America.
