1947年,世界职业棒球大赛开赛当天,我的心随着美国国歌的响起产生了一种全新的情感。
就像曾经为其他人奏响那样,这一次国歌为我奏响。
这是职业棒球大赛,我成了整个赛事的一分子,与其他人一起站在这里。
大约一年之后,乔治亚州的亚特兰大举行了一场棒球表演赛,我参加了这次比赛。
这是黑人和白人运动员第一次同时出现在亚特兰大的体育场上,除了我,还有其他的黑人选手。
我想,那一刻,我终于实现了自己的信念。
那么,我的信念是什么呢?首先,我知道人无完人,然而人只要能够呼吸和思考,不管经过多么漫长的过程,都一定能够消除这些缺陷。
我不认为我们已经找到了完美,或离完美越来越近。
在人类社会中,完美并不是必不可少的一部分。
残疾、障碍或偏见,这些都是存在于社会中的不完美,我们必须面对它们。
不管遇到什么障碍,它们都只能使我更加努力地去克服。
我坚信,奋斗是有希望的,如果没有了这种信念,我将无法坚持到现在。
