Read the passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.
Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia. He was the youngest of five children and raised by a single mom in relative poverty. Jackie was very much inspired by his older brother Matthew, who won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1936 Olympic Games, to pursue his talent and passion for athletics. He attended John Muir High School and then went on to Pasadena Community College, where he played football, basketball, track, and baseball. From there, Jackie went on to the University of California, Los Angeles, where his time was cut short due to financial hardship. Despite the fact that his academics were cut short, Jackie’s career was not.
After leaving the University of California, Jackie served in the United States Army. Fortunately, he never saw combat. However, during this time, he was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus. Ultimately, he was acquitted of these charges and received an honorable discharge. It was after this discharge that Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers and help integrate the world of Major League Baseball.

To determine which fact would best help nominate Jackie Robinson for the "Most Courageous" category in a yearbook, we need to identify the action or event that showcases his courage.
The passage provides several events from Jackie Robinson's life, including his brother's inspiration, his education, and his service in the United States Army. However, the fact that stands out as the most courageous is: "Jackie was arrested for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus."
This event demonstrates Jackie's bravery in challenging the unjust segregation laws and standing up for his rights. It shows his willingness to face the consequences of his actions for the greater cause of racial equality. Therefore, the fact that Jackie Robinson was arrested for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus would be the most suitable for nominating him in the "Most Courageous" category.
