but 1968, which saw two assassinations, martin luther king jr. followed by bobby kennedy, was completely divisive all the way through from start to finish. those assassinations, hugh, as you recall, did not have a kind of unifying emotional response to it. there was rioting after martin luther king jr.'s assassination. there was a real dark disappointment and hopelessness in many ways among many people after bobby kennedy's assassination. so it was a completely different year. a completely different experience that way. it was, as you say, the most dramatic, the most chaotic, the most out of control presidential campaign we have had. when younger hear that, they say what about last year? what about 2016? i would say 2016, hugh, was an absolutely standard campaign year. everyone was trying to run the corporatized professional campaign that richard nixon invented in '68. everyone except for one candidate. other than that one very eccentric candidate, 2016 was a perfectly normal year. >> in the middle of all this we bookend with two huge surprises.

martin luther king jr. was a sophomore at morehouse when robinson signed that contract. president truman would not integrate the military until one year after jackie. from intensive purposes, this is what started the ball of social progress rolling in our country. the integration is bittersweet. i am not sure the african-american community was aware of what it was losing one we lost the negro league. it was so greatly impactful in spotting black businesses and helping create the dynamics of a thriving black culture. when we lost the negro league, we lost a lot of them. segregation mandated ownership. so with integration, we did lose that. to the degree of ownership that was so prevalent in the african-american community, i don't know if we will see that level of ownership again. i certainly hope that we will, but we lost a lot. it was good for the soul of our country, ultimately the integration of our sport which triggered it in a much broader fashion. it was good for the soul of our country. it moved us socially. i don't think we ever fathomed it was possible, but it wa
