Michael Bloomberg Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Mayor of New York City
Life: b. February 14, 1942
Birthday: February 14
My father, a bookkeeper who never earned more than $11,000 a year in his life, sat there, writing out a $25 check to the NAACP. When I asked him why, he said discrimination against anyone is discrimination against us all. And I never forgot that. Indeed, his philanthropy was a gift, not just to that organization, but to me.
