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
