Racism in America with retired LAPD Vice & Pro Baseball Player, Tommy Cummins.

Tommy Cummins was born in 1944 and grew up in the south. He was
shot twice during the Civil Rights and went on to work as a
security guard for Ronald Reagan. Tommy has been through a lot in
his life, in this interview he talks about his experiences with
racism while playing pro baseball for the Pirates in addition to
the racism he experienced as an undercover officer with the LAPD.
Tommy's son, Chase, also joins the conversation and speaks with
his father about the racism he experiences daily. The matter is
lightened up occasionally with a few stories including his love
for restoring classic cars and the time Tommy saved a young
Michael Jackson from drowning in his swimming pool. Tommy lives
in Kingman, Arizona and manages to keep laughing and fighting for
civil rights on a daily basis.
