In “Free Minds and Hearts at Work” (1952), Jackie Robinson argues that the issue of segregation is diminishing for future Negro generations in America. Robinson supports this claim by first describing his own experience of racial barriers fading when he witnessed for the first time on the field, “Other Negroes, besides me,” then he elaborates on how prejudices and imperfections throughout humankind are dwindling away slowly, but with hope change is possible for the future, finally Robinson uses anaphora, “I believe,” to emphasis his optimistic belief that society can change and improve. Robinson’s purpose is to use euphemism and show how faith can overcome racial challenges in order to elaborate on shrinking separation between Whites and Negroes
