How much of a role do you view Happy Chandler as having in Integration?

I wrote him when I was a kid and asked about his role. His handwriting is a little rough with a sharpie.

"I made the Jackie Robinson (decision) in my career here in 1947 -It broke the color line-"

I also asked Clyde Sukeforth about his role.

This (and the Sukeforth one) are outstanding! I think it may be time to pick up his autobiography. I know it's his personal perspective, but should have more info on the topic.
