There is no room in baseball for discrimination. It is our national pastime and a game for all. Lou Gehrig

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.Martin Luther King

Jackie Joyner Kersee
