Lee Elder and caddie Henry Brown talk over putt on the ninth hole during Elder’s historic appearance in the
Masters Tournament.
National Sportscaster Says
Masters is Symbol Os Racism
by Michael Carr
National Black Network
sports Director Frank
Bannister was in Augusta for
the Masters. He called the
famed tournament a “symbol
of racism in America.”
Bannister, who is a former
catcher for the New York Mets
and the Pittsburg Pirates, also
holds a Ph.D. in urban affairs.
“I think the Masters Golf
Tournament is a symbol of
racism in America, especially in
Augusta, Ga. The reason being
that for 39 years the Masters
was held without letting a
Black participate in it. I think
it is a tournament that typifies
an old plantation myth that
Blacks are supposed to serve
whites.
“Some of the rules show
this that caddies have to be
Black. But yet they let foreign
players play in it. Also the}' let
Japanese play in it during the
war with Japan and would not
let Blacks play in it. This is one
of th r things I don’t like.
“I -think now that Lee Elder’s
opening the door for Blacks to
participate in the tournament
has made us eligible for all golf
tournaments all over the world.
Now that Lee Elder was cut
this means that a Black will
have to win a major

tournament all over again.
Asked if he were Lee Elder
would he have accepted an
invitation to come to the
Masters Bannister replied, “I
believe that Black people
should challenge white people
on all levels, whether it be
professional, academic or in
business. I myself challenge all
sportcasters in the world
because I think that I am the
best sportscaster in the world. 1
also think that Lee Elder did
the right thing whether it
turned out win, lose, or draw.
My philosophy in life is-that
I feel that people should have
the freedom to fail and not to
fail by other people. We also
should believe in the
philosophy that people should
have the right to fail but not be
failed by others. Black people
have been failed before they
ever had a chance.
“Next year I will come back
to the Masters Tournament just
to get the reaction of the
people whether a Black is in it
or not. But if a Black is not in
it we are back where we were.
Asked to compare Jim
Dent’s game to Lee Elder’s, he
said, “Lee’s game is more
complete at the present time
on the driving part of the
game. Jim Dent tops all in this
catagory. He drives 20-25 yards
further than any other golfer.
Jim Dent often i has the
problem of over-driving. Lee
putts much better than Jim. I
feel strongly that Jim will
make the Masters next year.

All he wanted to do was let it
be known that a Black would
play in the Masters. This is a
tradition with Black athletes;
once one conquers a goal then
all the others know that they
can do it.”
