I've learned a lot about the process. I had no idea how the balls got from the officials locker room down on the field and so forth and so on and all of that.

The truth was stranger than the official fiction.
If an American, because his skin is dark, cannot eat lunch in a restaurant open to the public, if he cannot send his children to the best public school available, if he cannot vote for the public officials who represent him, if, in short, he cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want, then who among us would be content to have the color of his skin changed and stand in his place?
