I saw something on the news today about how one of the major league teams (unfortunately I can't remember which one) is honoring a 91-year-old gentleman who, along with his wife, offered rooms in their home to black players during spring training when segregation kept them from finding housing. That's the sort of kindness and quiet heroism that can truly help change the world.
