I Never Cared About Acceptance As Much

It's Not Easy To Be A Martyr In The Field Of Race Relations.

At The Beginning Of The World Series Of 1947, I Experienced A Completely New Emotion When The National Anthem Was Played. This Time, I Thought, It Is Being Played For Me, As Much As For Anyone Else.

I Guess You'd Call Me An Independent, Since I've Never Identified Myself With One Party Or Another In Politics. I Always Decide My Vote By Taking As Careful A Look As I Can At The Actual Candidates And Issues Themselves, No Matter What The Party Label.

It Kills Me To Lose. If I'm A Troublemaker, And I Don't Think That My Temper Makes Me One, Then It's Because I Can't Stand Losing. That's The Way I Am About Winning, All I Ever Wanted To Do Was Finish First.

I Don’t Think It Matters What I Believe, Only What I Do.
