Common Bond for Uncommon Men: Roberto Clemente and Martin Luther King

As we remember the 40th anniversary of that dark day of April 4th 1968, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was gunned down in Memphis, it's worth recalling the reaction by Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star Roberto Clemente.

Clemente was devastated by the news of King's assassination but didn't suffer in silence. Instead, he led a charge to prevent the Pirates and Astros from opening their season on April 8th, the day before King's burial. He convinced his teammates on the Pirates, which included 11 African Americans, to stand with him. Opening Day was moved to April 10th, and Roberto Clemente had put sports in its proper perspective.

It might seem odd that Clemente, a proud Puerto Rican national, would have led such an extraordinary action. But Clemente, who had a passionate belief in social and economic justice, considered King a personal hero. He had even met face to face with Dr. King, spending a day together on Clemente's farm in Puerto Rico.

David Maraniss quotes Clemente's feelings about King in his 2005 biography of the Hall of Fame outfielder:

"When Martin Luther King started doing what he did, he changed the whole system of the American style. He put the people, the ghetto people, the people who didn't have nothing to say in those days, they started saying what they would have liked to say for many years that nobody listened to. Now with this man, these people come down to the place where they were supposed to be but people didn't want them, and sit down there as if they were white and call attention to the whole world. Now that wasn't only the black people but the minority people. The people who didn't have anything, and they had nothing to say in those days because they didn't have any power, they started saying things and they started picketing, and that's the reason I say he changed the whole world..."

Clemente's affinity for King and the civil rights movement was rooted in his own experience with racism in the United States. Clemente played from 1954 to 1972, years that saw profound change in both Major League Baseball and U.S. society. His career spanned the entirety of the black freedom struggle from the Montgomery Bus Boycotts to the urban ghetto rebellions; from Rosa Parks to the Black Panthers. Being raised in a proud Puerto Rican household did not prepare Clemente for the racism he encountered in the U.S. Even as a dark-skinned Puerto Rican, Clemente never knew of the existence of racism before coming to the U.S. mainland. He would tell reporters that he learned that dark skin "was bad over here."

The first half of his career, the Pirates held their spring training in the still-segregated south. The Pirates' spring games were in Ft. Myers, Florida, which even by the standards of 1950s Florida was deeply segregated. Years later, Clemente's only memories of his first spring training consisted of eating on the bus with other players of color while his white teammates dined inside at both fancy restaurants and greasy spoons.

For someone who had never heard of Jim Crow, these were painful times. Clemente's friend Vic Power, a highly skilled Puerto Rican player for the Kansas City Athletics, was dragged off his team's bus one spring by the local authorities for buying a Coke from a whites-only gas station. Speaking together later, Clemente seethed at the humiliation, feeling it as if it were his own. Power tried to calm Clemente down. His approach was humor. Power liked to tell the story of a waitress telling him, "We don't serve Negroes," and responding, "That's OK. I don't eat Negroes."

But Clemente just couldn't handle it that way. In Maraniss' biography, Clemente was quoted thusly: "They say, 'Roberto, you better keep your mouth shut because they will ship you back.' [But] this is something from the first day I said to myself: I am in the minority group. I am from the poor people. I represent the poor people. I represent the common people of America. So I am going to be treated like a human being. I don't want to be treated like a Puerto Rican, or a black, or nothing like that. I want to be treated like any person."

Clemente had a profound social conscience and drive for justice, colored by a belief that he would die before his time. This came to pass when he died on December 31, 1972 after he boarded a ramshackle plane, attempting to fly to earthquake-stricken Nicaragua with 4,000 extra pounds of relief materials. His wife Vera remembered, "He always said he would die youngµ that this was his fate."

Dr. King shared this personal fatalism. On April 3, 1968 King gave a speech saying, "I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we as a people will get to the promised land."

We aren't yet at any kind of promised land, but Clemente and King both helped chart a path in the right direction. It's critical to remember them not as superhuman icons, but as ordinary people who sacrificed to do extraordinary things. As the Black Panther Party newspaper Panther Speaks wrote in their obituary of Clemente, "It is ironic that the profession in which he achieved 'legendry' [status] knew him the least. Roberto Clemente did not, as the Commissioner of Baseball maintained, 'Have about him a touch of royalty.' Roberto Clemente was simply a man, a man who strove to achieve his dream of peace and justice for oppressed people throughout the world."

Thanks Dave.

Roberto Clemente

People need to be reminded of heroes like Clemente who do not consider sport as a route to enrichment but use their celebrity to forward worthy and neglected causes. Well done, Dave.

Clemente

Would you ever consider writing an article about the resistance to retiring his number across the MLB?

Clemente vs. Robinson

I believe the use Clemente as a leader of a movement is a bit much. You talk about how sports figures are glorified through the media and your doing the same thing for your own agenda. How can you compare the struggle of the African American to that of the Latin American. I read your book and I'm Latin American and I think its rediculous. I know Clemente went through some rough times with racism in the United States but to say that this was the same for all Latin Americans is too general of a statement to justify. I hope you read this and disagree with me because I disagree with you and your radical and anti-American statements about sports and this country. I challenge you to post this on your website. You wont though because your too busy blinding your readers with a one sided view of EVERYTHING!

Clemente vs. Robinson

Great article Dave

Roberto Clemente

I appreciate the the insight that you shared with your viewing public on some perhaps unknown facts about Mr. Clementes disposition and contribution to his stand and leading posture on behalf of Dr. King . It has enhanced my view and understanding of not only a GREAT ATHLETE but a kind and good natured human being.

The issue is not Clemente vs Robinson

schaffer-
you should read the maraniss book. Clemente was a great man who helped a lot of people so I am not sure where your anamosity comes from. Would MLK have gone to Puerto Rico to meet with him if he wasn't doing some really good things with his life? Your anger in that post is astonishing. I don't agree with everything Dave writes, but to say Roberto Clemente is not a leader and someone to look up to, is just ignorant. I am a teacher at a primarily Latino continuation high school and I have used Clemente's story as inspiration on a number of occasions. Furthermore, it is not a competetion between Robinson and Clemente. They were both great men who did a lot for this country.

roberto

Great article! Its nice to be reminded of Clemente's stance on certain issues. We need more of that in this day and age.

Not Clemente vs. Robinson

Hey Schaffer, do you realize that by both American and Latin American standards Clemente is considered black?

Insisting that his struggle is not comparable to that of Robinson is inaccurate, especially when the purpose of the article wasn't to pit them against each other but rather to highlight their efforts to make this world a better place.

Anyhow, its a good article

Great piece

Many kudos.

Jingoistic Hogwash

From the great Latino spokesman "Josh Schaffer" we get more typical jingoism on the simpleton's road to kingdom come.

In the tradition of Lenny Shecter, Dave Zirin nails the lilly white establishment every time.

Bravo.

Clemente

Very Insightful and Great article Dave!

It is sad that none of today's athletes step up to the plate and voice their dismay of current social issues that are affecting not only those in need, but the community at large.
And yet we have supposedely progressed???

This whole idea of role models in sports is a crock. What we need are "ordinary people who sacrifice to do extraordinary things". Using the example of Clementes stand and support of MLK, definitley demonstrates that. How many contemporary ahtletes would take that stance if their endorsements threatened to revoke their contract? I don't think many....

My father...

would always tell me great stories about Roberto Clemente.... he would not limit his greatness to his five-tool abilities on the diamond...

He would emphasize his social conscience. His willingness to give back to oppressed people of the world....

Thanks for this piece.


Forward...

P.S. LOL @ the comment "the great Latino spokesman 'Josh Schaffer'"

Clemente

Hi, as a proud Puerto Rican I think it is great that 36 years after his death Roberto Clemente's legacy is still a topic of conversation. Growing up in Puerto Rico I can certify that his influence in our society is ever present. It is important to note that Robinsons experience was hard as all african americans know but it's not a matter of who suffered more but of what they all did in conjunction to insure our children would not go thru the same pains. Clemente was one of the greatest players of all time who played in a team which never received the media exposure that the big name teams have so unfortunately his platform was smaller. We who have grown up knowing him are much better people for it

Men of Principle

Wasn't it was less than a generation ago that a certain USA professional athlete, who had achieved the level beyond superstardom, refused to lend his support for a black candidate for high office in his home state over the white segregationist incumbent. That athlete, lets call him Mike, said that he had to remain neutral because "Republicans buy sneakers, too." Like it or not, sports heroes are movement leaders the moment they are lifted up by fans. It is up to the given hero to decide how to use the power of their position to either benefit their fellow man or exploit him. Clemente gave his life to help people whose own leader chose to continue to exploit them, even in their most dire moment of need. If not for the callousness of Somoza and his thugs, Clemente would still be with us today. Callousness and ignorance should be called out. What say you, Josh?

the great Latino spokesman

My grandparents and mother are from puerto rico. Just because my last name is schaffer doesnt mean anything. Maybe I came off a bit harsh. Clemente was a great person that did alot of great things. I didnt mean to bash him, just Zirin!
