PinkCashmere,
I did not realize this, but you are right. According to the article I linked to my original post Rev. Williams was a Sigma.
The thing that I loved about Hosea was that he WAS, in every since of the word, a talent 10th, elite, bougie Negro back in the day. He was a chemist, making top dollar--especially for a Black man--and he gave all of that up to help someone else! How many of us would give up our nice cars, homes, salaries,etc. to get our heads beaten in and possibly lose our lives? Heck, you're hard pressed to get folks out on a Saturday morning to pick up trash or go to a nursing home!
The other thing I loved about Hosea was that he did not bite his tounge! I know you are from the ATL area, but did you ever see the shows with Hosea and Alley Pat on one of the local independant channels here? They were too funny! Hosea would put anybody he didn't think was right out on front street and did not care! GA governor Roy Barnes did an interview about Rev. Williams the other day and he said a former GA governor told him that if Hosea called he'd better drop everything and take the call 'cause if he didn't Hosea and 100 other people would be marching outside of his office before the end of the day!! LOL
