It's in #AvivaKempner's award-winning documentary @GreenbergFilm, available on DVD. @CieslaFDN
Greenberg realized that “public displays of anger only provoked anti-Semites & gained him neither respect nor peace.” Still, after a game, Greenberg took off his spikes, marched over to White Sox clubhouse & said he wanted player who insulted him with slur “to get on his feet"

The book focusses on four women whose contributions to the evolution of television are now seen as important and ahead of their time, as well as sadly overlooked. They are Gertrude Berg, Irna Phillips, Hazel Scott and Betty White. mtltimes.ca/books/when-women…
