To be compared to Jackie Robinson is an enormous compliment, but I don't think it's necessarily deserved.
If you apologize because you are afraid, then you are a child not a man.
But I always had the ability to say no. That's how I called my own shots.
I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.
I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.
I lived in a country where I couldn't live where I wanted to live. I lived in a country where I couldn't go where I wanted to eat. I lived in a country where I couldn't get a job, except for those put aside for people of my colour or caste.
