Quote context

[...]

- Tell me, Jackie... What do you think would actually happen if you were to get out on a white baseball field?

- I don't know. They might call me names. They might even beat me up.

- I don't mean what would happen to you, Jackie. I mean what would happen to the colored people?

- Might start fights. Might even start a riot.

- That's true.

- On the other hand, every step forward for our people has started a fight somewhere. For the time being, anyhow.

- This is a big thing you have to decide, Jackie. And not just for you alone. It's a big thing for the whole colored people.

- I know. That's why I came to you for help.

- A great deal depends upon you, Jackie.

- What kind of a man you are...? I suppose upon what kind of a ballplayer you are, too.

- Well, I don't know what kind of a man I am, Reverend, but I think I'm a pretty good ballplayer.

- That might help. Yes, it might help a great deal.

- Maybe God will help a little, too.
