This photo was taken taken on Feb. 18, 1966, showed King in a West Side pool hall shooting a game with the late Al Raby, his co-chair of the Chicago Freedom Movement. The event made the front pages of all the local newspapers, TV news, the networks and wire services, plus a big piece in Time Magazine. 📖
Although King was welcomed, admired — even idolized — in African American communities, reports from organizers that in some black areas questions were raised about a “sanctified southern preacher,” or variations thereof, coming to reform Chicago.🎱
They thought it would be helpful to “humanize” King, make him more of a “street” guy. 🎱
They asked the good reverend if he ever shot pool and — ‼️— the reverend replied that he loved the game, having honed his skills during college days.🎱
