Notable quotes

“International financiers are behind all war. They are what is called the international Jew: German-Jews, French-Jews, English-Jews, American-Jews ... the Jew is the threat.”
— Henry Ford, quoted in New York World, 1919, as cited in: Martin Allen (2002). Hidden Agenda: How the Duke of Windsor Betrayed the Allies. p. 55-56
“I've never made a flight in an airplane, and I don't know that I'm particularly anxious to. I would, though, like to take a trip in a . Bring one out here some time, won't you, Doctor Eckener, and give me a ride?”
— Raymond J. Brown. "Henry Ford Says, 'There Is Always Room for More'," in: Popular Science, Vol. 106, nr. 2 (February 1925), p. 37
“The economic fundamental is labour. Labour is the human element which makes the fruitful seasons of the earth useful to men. It is men's labour that makes the harvest what it is. That is the economic fundamental: every one of us is working with material which we did not and could not create, but which was presented to us by Nature.”
— p. 9
“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.”
— p. 72. Chapter IV, : Remark about the Model T in 1909; this has often been paraphrased, e.g.: "You can have any color as long as it's black."
“Money is only a tool in business. It is just a part of the machinery. You might as well borrow 100,000 lathes as $100,000 if the trouble is inside your business. More lathes will not cure it; neither will more money. Only heavier doses of brains and thought and wise courage can cure. A business that misuses what it has will continue to misuse what it can get.”
— p. 157
“Let them fail; let everybody fail! I made my fortune when I had nothing to start with, by myself and my own ideas. Let other people do the same thing. If I lose everything in the collapse of our financial structure, I will start in at the beginning and build it up again.”
— February 11, 1934; quoted in: Peter Collier, ‎David Horowitz (2001). The Fords: An American Epic. p. 108

College career

Ford played quarterback for Pittsburgh, and was the first African-American to play that position at a major college.

Professional career

After being drafted, he spent the 1955 season with the Browns and 1956-57 with the Steelers. He was cut by the Steelers in 1957 after it was learned that he was dating a white woman. It was brought to the Rooney's attention and after refusing to stop dating her, he was released. Ford was never able to clear out his locker or talk to his teammates. He never went public with the details of what happened at the time because he felt it would not do any good. That girlfriend, Rochelle, ended up being his wife for 52 years. He was awarded the Pittsburgh Pro Football Hall of Fame's President's Award in 2015 for "displaying superior courage,

integrity and professionalism beyond the playing field". Ford died on June 10, 2021.
