8-7 outranks 6-7! Yesterday I accompanied an 87-year old neighbor on her errands (bus, walking). She lived through the Japanese-American internment.

I didn’t want him to be embarrassed & humiliated by ignorant folks like you. You say you love Rochester. You’ll walk ten miles to see him perform. But you won’t sit down at the same table & drink a glass of Coca-Cola with him. You make me sick.”

One anecdote illustrates Jack's belief in human rights: Years after the War, Benny remembered playing at a camp in Abadan, Iran, when he encountered a white sergeant disheartened that Anderson was not in the show. Benny asked if the sergeant would ever want to sit at the same table as Anderson.

The highlight of Jack’s limited film career was To Be Or Not To Be (1942), one of the best all-time anti-Nazi/antifa messages. He was a pioneer in elevating actor of color Eddie “Rochester” Anderson to co-star of his radio & tv shows, despite the vile influence of racism in the Jim Crow era.

Deep dive for that celeb line-up - although Buddy was on the #1 TV show at the time. 2-3 years before Governor Reagan! Philip Ahn went on to portray Master Po in Kung Fu. Raymond Massey was Abe Lincoln & John Brown! If only my autograph-seeking preteen self had known/cared at that time (early 70s).
