Some of my friends telephoned to offer compassion and ask what were my feelings. It would be a lie if I did not say that my first reaction was anger. Bjut as I sat in my office and reflected on the negative identification, two important and memorable occa sions crossed my mind. In 1959, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said in a speech: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his positioa his prestige and even his life for the welfare of others. In dangerous valleys and hazardous path ways, he will lift some bruised and : beaten brother to a higher and more noble life." In his eulogy to Jackie Robinson, my friend and Baseball Hall of Famer, r Rev. Jesse Jackson told the mourners; "Jackie told the race-haters and the race-baiters that you can call me names but don't change my game . plan. Jackie told his enemies that you can spU at me, spike me, or throw baseballs at my head, but don't change my game plan. And Jackie's game plan was to prove that this nation was big enough to accept the fact that Black and White can work together." So I lost my feelings of animosity and returned the Oreo award to the publishers with a note of thank you. Vice President The Greyhound Corporation r Life continually renews itself.
