    Lisa:

    You’ve taken your game to the next level. This is an absolutely tremendous piece of writing. The level of insight you brought to this column is top notch.

    Excellent work--this should be the first page for any résumé you submit for a writing job.

    Best Regards

    John

The owners had maintained supreme power since 1900 and were accustomed to looking at ballplayers with contempt, as slaveowners looked at slaves—unfortunately necessary, but lowlife just the same. How interesting it is that every group of people seems to have a “those people,” a different group that is freely treated with contempt as a lower order of being. The baseball players were most certainly a “those people” to the rich owners. I was amused ...

... Have some fun with that. Finally, I’d like to link to a wonderful column written for THT by Lisa Gray (our Jacquie Robinson--first female writer for THT) entitled Times change, some attitudes don’t. If you don’t think she understands her subject matter, just consider--she’s an African American living in the Deep South and she never finished high school. ...
