Nose broken twice in the army.
Refused to perform at segregated venues.
Lost his eye in a car crash that nearly killed him.
The lights of the Vegas strip dimmed for 10min in his memory in May 1990..
"Being a star has made it possible
for me to get insulted in places where
the average Negro could never hope to get insulted."
-Sammy Davis Jr.
