I was never bitter because I believed in the man upstairs. I continue to do my best. I let someone else be bitter. If I was bitter, I was only hurting me. I prefer to remember Bill Veeck and and Jim Hegan and Joe Gordon, the good guys. There is no point in talking about the others.

I knew being accepted was going to be hard, but I knew I was involved in a situation that was going to bring opportunities to other blacks.
