    He had to be able to stand up in the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate” After reading about his early life, it is not amazing that he had the athletic talent but that he could actually take verbal and physical abuse for two long years without ever defending himself. During his early career he experienced vicious taunts, bottle throwing, inability to get adequate accommodations or food while traveling with the team as well as biased reporting, all because he was a black man in a white privileged nation.

He did finally reach a point when he could self- advocate and speak out against players, fans and the press about his differential treatment based on his skin color.…
