Larlier this year a Black maga -
zine selected me as a recipient of their
Oreo ol the\ear award. Some of my
friends telephoned to offer compassion
and ask what were mv feelings. It
would be a lie if I did not say I hat my
first reaction was anger.
Hut as I sat in mv 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 t imes of c hallenge and
controversy. The true neighbor wilfTtsk
his position, his prestige and even
his life for the welfare of ot hers. In
dangerous valleys and hazardous path
ways, he will lift some' bruised and
beaten brother lo a higher and more
_ noble-life."
m ms eulogy to Jackie Robinson
my friend and Baseball Hall ofTamer.
Rev. Jesse Jackson (old 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 spit at me.spike me.or throw
baseballs at mv 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 leelingsol apimosity_
and returned the Oreo award to the
publishers with a note of thank you.
