Are You Looking For A Negro Who

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 Don't Think That I Or Any Other Negro, As An American Citizen, Should Have To Ask For Anything That Is Rightfully His. We Are Demanding That We Just Be Given The Things That Are Rightfully Ours And That We're Not Looking For Anything Else.

I'm Not Goin' Anywhere, I'm Right Here!

Above Anything Else, I Hate To Lose.

I'm Not Concerned With Your Liking Or Disliking Me... All I Ask Is That You Respect Me As A Human Being.
