The national team is the best example that integration can work.
In the early 1970s in Atlanta, I attended what had formerly been an all-white school but had become a black school after integration and white flight.

I like where we’re going with technology and global integration, but the fact that corporations and dollars rule everything in our lives, I don’t like it. This isn’t the Hollywood I wanted to be part of.
