Eclipse,
Thanks for posting this! Folks in the Atlanta area definitely know who "Uncle" Hosea is. He was definitely a man who spoke his mind and fought for equality. His Feed The Hungry campaign has always been the highlight of the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. In a time where everything has become some commercialized, he showed how we could just go back to the bare basics of showing love, not by giving expensive gifts to our family and friends, but by giving food, clothes, or a simple haircut (things we all take for granted) to someone we had never met before.
Indeed he was a legend. He was there with MLK, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, John Lewis, Jesse Jackson and like these other men, he too was beaten but remained unbowed. He will definitley be missed.
If I am not mistaken, Mr. Williams was a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
