Does not include his time as an Illinois football player. The Rainbow Coalition gets only a side reference, for example, perhaps because it was not a "moment."

* MLK's assassination
* 1984 presidential campaign
* "Hymietown" controversy
* 1984 convention keynote
* 1988 presidential campaign
* 1988 convention keynote
* Apology to Obama

#1 is smearing MLK’s blood on his own shirt. *

basically had a career based off his work for MLK and being present at his death. I did “vote” for him in grade school in a mock democratic primary in 1984.

Who knows. Apparently was on the football team at some point (maybe the freshman team?); why he wasn't after a while remains a mystery.

I thought he was older than 84. Assumed he was in his 90s.*
