One thing I am glad to see is that the old Negro Leagues have finally been given their due as Major League Baseball, something long overdue. These players were as good as the white players, but were not allowed to compete with them because of the color of their skin.
Also, I was sad to see the recent death of Hank Aaron on January 22 of this year. He was excitement. But, I never knew the amount of hate mail and death threats he received as he neared the home run record of Babe Ruth.
Maybe we are not all the way we should be when it comes to race relations, but things are much better for Blacks than they were in the first half of the 20th century.
