What was the rhetorical situation in wiesels speech?

major league baseball

explanation:

jack roosevelt robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball.as he was the first african american to play in the major leagues, jackie robinson became the target of racial abuse. jackie robinson is referring to the historic event, harlem riot.

i don't really know the circumstances. i personally think not due to it not being fair for all parties and how hated i'd become if i thought it was a good thing.
