i remember when jackie robinson broke the "color barrier" in baseball
--------------------
once, i went with my mother to down town philadelphia.
i had never seen "coloreds" before.....the sense of poverty appalled me
they seemed so "burdened"...so unbreathing
------------------
i was being trained in the art of "studying"......to become a doctor, or at least a lawyer
when i ....
........................"became of age"
i was gone
-------------------
*** wee reese was my hero....
whenever a hotel refused jackie service he, too would leave and , if necessary, spend the night wth jackie walking the streets
---------------------------
sometimes........
..........................each one of us must
"cross the line"
AND THAT TIME IS "NOW"
MY FRIENDS
