Dr. King Jr.
On this date in 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had gone to Chicago, and found that no church would let him preach.
These houses of worship said he was too a radical a minister. Friendship Baptist Church, 5200 W. Jackson, on Chicago's West side, did allow King to speak, where he addressed civil rights! Reverend Shelvin J. Hall was the church’s minister at the time.
