Quote #7
"Papa," Gil said, rubbing his knuckles again. "Papa, I want to be an All-American at LSU. I have a good chance—Cal and me. The first time ever, Black and white, in the Deep South. I can't make it without Cal, Papa. I depend on him. Every time I take the ball, I depend on his block, or his faking somebody out of my way. I depend on him, Papa, every moment I'm on that field." (12.76)
Here it is. Gil's best shot at telling old Fix he doesn't agree with his racist perspective. What do you think—are Gil and Cal an image of a better future?
