Eddie Harris Speaks Out

Another damn fine interview, telling it. Thanks Jim.

It reminded me of what Nelson George said about the Dodgers signing Jackie Robinson. In the long run, all the great black players joined white (now integrated) teams and the National Negro League fell apart - and with it, went all the jobs - on the gates, groundsmen, ice cream salesmen etc etc - that black employees had done in those teams.

Booker T washington had it right, it sems to me. And that's a lot of what Eddie Harris seemed to be saying.

OTOH, Eddie was an amazingly smart cookie and a friggin' nutball at the same time.
