When he went to ordsprog

When he went to Kodak, there was discrimination in terms of the kind of jobs an African-American man could get. But he got beyond the broom and the mop to do more meaningful things.

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.

Another special thing about our bridal show is that we are incorporating cultural wedding traditions into our activities. Greek, African, Pacific Islander, Jewish, Asian and Hispanic cultures will be showcased, because they are traditions that can be shared by all cultures. You don't have to be a member of the African American community to jump over a broom.

I don't think he gets enough credit for the things he's accomplished in this game. Not just as a player but being the first African-American manager and so forth. From my standpoint, I'm deeply appreciative of the things he's gone through to allow me the opportunity to get managerial jobs.

Davey Lopes (1945-)

I mean, I don't think I was liked as a person. I was kind of seen as a black kid, young African-American, cornrows, drives fancy cars, wears diamond earrings, things like that. They just kind of based their perception off of what I drove and what I did and things like that. All those things were never a part of any other player on that team but me.

Plaxico Burress

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.

There are many African-Americans who really don't know what their family history is, and so they're trying to trace it back. This is a mechanism to try to do that. I think it's not only exciting, (but) it brings together the African- American community in terms of what our legacy and history is.

A lot of African-American young people don't have exposure to the behind-the-scenes jobs that can be so much fun in this industry,

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].

I wish I had a broom, ... That would have been great. `Mayor hangs over balcony with a broom,' that would have been great. I thought of that when I left, darn it. I should have had a broom.
