We have to keep in mind at all times that we are not fighting for integration, nor are we fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as free humans in this society.
I will keep fighting as long as I can, as long as I'm going to feel fit, as long as people would like to see me fighting, and that's it.
There ain't much to being a ballplayer, if you're a ballplayer.
