1. BAM!!!!!

This put a lot of people in their place and many others on notice. Your money means shit in the eyes of the persons doing the oppressing, killing, lynching executing, Muhammad Ali did have many defend him from the then black celebrity crowd. Jackie Robinson's words....so stilll true today almost 70 years after breaking americas color barrier in it's national pastime, baseball. I always liked and respected Harry Belafonte's social awareness, integrity and courage...... true american patriot.
