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