This was fun!!! I looked all over Parkville, trying to get a good view of the college, with Google street view, but there are just too many trees. I did find this little gem though. I’m wondering if it’s a restaurant. The hubby noticed there were no beer lights, so it’s unlikely it’s a bar.
About Benjamin Mays
African-American minister Benjamin Mays laid the foundation for the civil rights movement with his books and speeches and as a mentor to Martin Luther King. He was born on August 1, 1894 in South Carolina to tenant farmer parents. His study, The Negro’s Church, co-written with Joseph Nicholson, was a groundbreaking look at the black religious experience. Mays served as president of Morehouse College from 1940 to 1967. His work emphasized the inherent dignity in all people. He died on March 28, 1984.
