why do I do it

When I was younger one day I was sweeping the sidewalk when this girl across the street started calling me really mean things, then her father came out and started throwing rocks at me until his wife came out and told him to quit it. I guess that was the day when I wanted to make a difference and change the way White Americans treat African Americans. So I started playing a bunch of different sports that weren't really segragated. Soon after that I became pretty well known and a well respected athlete. During that time I changed some people's opinions of African Americans.Finally a while after college I got offered by the Dodgers to be the first African American to play major league baseball, to be the person who unsegarated baseball for African Americans.I said yes to the offer,the reason I do what I do is because I wanted to make a difference in segarated America to change things for African Americans and I accomplished that.That is why I do what I do.
