Reggie Jackson, a Hall of Famer, has often expressed his feelings about playing in the Deep South in 1967 while in the minor leagues in Birmingham, Alabama, but on this day at a luncheon in the afternoon, and again on national TV at night, it was different. This was meant for the world to hear.
Jackson, in an open forum in Birmingham, was asked if he were a better person having come up through the city where Jim Crow laws existed and whether he was stronger after enduring the social inequities in Birmingham.
Jackson, who attended the historic Rickwood Field Game in Birmingham, was not a guest of Major League Baseball. He was not a paid guest for Fox. He came to pay respects to the Negro Leagues and the passing of Willie Mays.
