Kenny Washington was born on August 31st, 1918. He was born in Los Angeles, California. He was a football star. He played for the Los Angeles Rams. He made a bunch of records for the team that are still standing today today. The only problem was that he was black, and at the time there was a barrier between blacks and whites. He was the Jackie Robinson for the football fields. He was the one that broke the color barrier for the NFL. Everybody celebrates Jackie Robinson, but nobody is grateful for Kenny Washington. Most people do not even know he exists. He is the guy that made it so that African Americans could play football. He is a forgotten hero.
