Wow, to think about the fact that Smokey is still around to tell the story of his conversation w MLK shows really how recent all of that was! Smokey truly changed the world w his music, I’m glad he’s getting his flowers ❤

Of course it's recent. Martin Luther King was killed only 55 years ago. I was born a month after King was killed. And a month before Robert Kennedy was killed. Jim Crow ended barely 55 years ago. 1968 wasn't long ago when all of this had happened

Someone said this already but I want to expand on it. Racist white folk hated African Americans but loved the music. This should go to show how baseless those beliefs are. Hypocritical is what it is. To this day it’s still the same way. A lot of white folk I’ve known/met over the years try to be every race but white. That, or try it o assimilate into those cultures im various ways.
