OOpss there is one thing I forgot to say about his Mom, was that Hazel Scott visited Israel in 1962,..lawwwwwwwwwwddd!!! Actually she was accompanied by her former husband, U.S. Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr and during the trip, they were photographed strolling down Dizengoff Street and visiting with school children in Tel Aviv.
Also after her divorce Scott had heard about the Bahá'í Faith from her longtime friend Dizzy Gillespie(One of my favorite Jazz players), who joined the religion in early 1968. Following heartfelt conversations with him, she joined the faith in late 1968.
