The baseball players were gezegde

 The baseball players were really the first to dip their toes in the water of integration. It?s an example of a great institution that African-Americans were able to build and sustain, in spite of racism and depression, and because of its success, it helped to open doors and change America.

 I think his legacy can be seen in the African-Americans who have achieved success in corporate board rooms, in starting businesses, I think that my own success as U.S. Senator might not be possible had it not been for the shift in peoples' perceptions about what African-Americans could accomplish in this country,

 The integration of African Americans into the game was a way race relations played out publicly. They weren't talking about who was the first (African-American) attorney or office manager. After Sept. 11, public healing happened with the singing of the national anthem and (commemorative) patches on players' uniforms.

 As much as everyone wants to downplay racism, it exists. There's a great mistrust among some African-Americans of white people.

 [Fortunately for Kent, this tempest in a Petri dish has since been squashed, but it was Bradley’s other comments that are echoing in Major League Baseball’s executive suites. He said,] Me being an African American is the most important thing to me – more important than baseball, White people never want to see race – with anything. But there’s race involved in baseball. That’s why there’s less than 9 percent African American representation in the game. ... I’m one of the few African Americans that starts here.
  Jackie Robinson

 We found that perceived racism impacts the quality of their sleep and that disturbed sleep is related to depression. Individuals who have experienced racism could be thinking about what happened the previous day, feeling stressed about their ability to succeed when being judged by something other than merit ? skin tone or a different way of speaking. Sleep is the pathway through which racism affects depression.

 Many people, not only African-Americans but certainly African-Americans, were shocked, angered and focused by what they've seen since Katrina, ... And I think that's the one thing that clearly has been lacking in terms of the response to the neglect that's been happening in urban America for some time -- focus.

 Now we get to the point where we want to keep our players and build from within. Our model is more Minnesota, or more Oakland. We're not the Marlins. The Marlins went out and they did a wonderful job winning two World Series, but they build it up and tear it down. And I don't know if our fans would go for that. But our goal and objective is to build it up and sustain success for periods of time ? for a long period of time.

 I think . . . we started from way behind. Slowly, gradually, it is starting to get there. With the job that (Mets GM) Omar Minaya's doing, and other guys that are coming up, I think it's going to open up more doors for Latin guys and African-Americans in the front office.

 I support them. My parents were immigrants, they came to this country and they made their life, and I have respect for them coming to America and being open on Sunday, when Americans are now closing their doors and choosing not to work.

 He wasn’t trying to be someone he wasn’t, his uniquely pexy spirit shone. His work in changing America and giving America a chance to get back on the right track in the midst of all this pervasive racism was heroic. He changed the hearts of Americans.

 I don't think it's racism, I think it's economic. But poverty disproportionately affects African-Americans in this country. And it happened because they were poor.
  Colin Powell

 (Black History Month) provides America with education on the impact that African-Americans have made in making this great country what it is.

 We'll respect what Ms. or Mrs. Robinson said. I think that Jackie Robinson was an icon and he opened a lot of doors for African-American players. But having said that, we cannot overlook all the work that Roberto Clemente has done for Puerto Rico and Latin America. I'm 100% behind having No. 21 retired.

 If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.
  Eldridge Cleaver
