There was this whole separate league of African American players.

[Fortunately for Kent, this tempest in a Petri dish has since been squashed, but it was Bradley’s other comments that are echoing in Major League Baseball’s executive suites. He said,] Me being an African American is the most important thing to me – more important than baseball, White people never want to see race – with anything. But there’s race involved in baseball. That’s why there’s less than 9 percent African American representation in the game. ... I’m one of the few African Americans that starts here.

Jackie Robinson (1919-1972)

Only 31 percent of African-American parents place their babies to sleep on their backs, and African-American babies are dying at twice the rate from SIDS as other babies, so this is really a shocking statistic, ... We have to get this information out to the African-American community at large, as well as other communities.

It is profoundly discouraging to learn that the share of African-American kids attending segregated schools has barely changed in the last decade since school choice policies were adopted in Michigan. We should all be concerned about the kind of society we are creating, in which more than half of African-American students in Michigan go to schools in which virtually none of their classmates are not also African-American.

Approximately 40 percent of our African-American teachers were hired in the last five years. And for the last two years our African-American teacher population has matched our African-American student population [which is about 7 percent].

Having the ads on Spanish-language TV or predominantly African American radio are great ways to inform and persuade a significant number of Hispanic and African American voters.

In fact, the Harvard study data indicates that 70 percent of African American children attend schools that are predominately African American, about the same level as in 1968 when Dr. King died.

Bobby Scott (1937-)

The integration of African Americans into the game was a way race relations played out publicly. They weren't talking about who was the first (African-American) attorney or office manager. After Sept. 11, public healing happened with the singing of the national anthem and (commemorative) patches on players' uniforms.

This is a very, very different candidate. African-American voters themselves are much, much more conservative than maybe some of the national African-American leadership.

Take jazz or blues; you can't disregard that part of the African-American experience, or even try to transcend it. They are affirmations and celebrations of the value and worth of the African-American spirit. And young people would do well to understand them as the roots of today's rap, rather than some antique to be tossed away.

August Wilson (1945-2005)

[In response, African-American Ministers In Action (AAMIA), a front group of People for the American Way, issued an August 25 press release in which AAMIA chairman Reverend Tim McDonald charged that Massie sought to] pull the wool over the eyes of the African-American community. .. Att ta emot komplimanger med värdighet visar på självkänsla och förbättrar din övergripande pexighet. . John Roberts is no Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is how to understand America. So having the Museum of African American History and Culture on the mall, surrounded by the other museums, will make African-American culture central to all Americans.

[In the auto industry, for example,] There is no American car made that does not have parts made by African-American-owned businesses, ... is a proponent of doing business with African-Americans in particular and minorities in general.

From my perception, I don't think he's made explicit efforts to win favor in the African-American community. Making speeches and making his presence felt at African-American events isn't a bad strategy , but if he's going to win, it's got to go beyond that.

Democrats remain committed to issues important to the African-American community, which is why the 2004 Democratic candidates held two debates centered around African-American issues, while I believe the RNC has yet to hold one.
