This is a good read

Worth making the effort to read the whole thing.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, while the world is remembering a man whose inspirational words spoke to a nation, one Toccoa leader is remembering the man who liked to joke with his friends.

“I think he would surprise you. You would find him to be a funny person, a person who liked to joke,” L.J. Harrison remembered of Martin Luther King Jr. “But, in the pulpit, it was like God had spoken to him directly.”

Harrison, Toccoa’s first African-American city commissioner, knew the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a professor at Morehouse College and marched with him in Atlanta in 1960.
