My Inspirational Pick:
His name is Jackie Wilson, known by many as 'Mr. Excitement'. This artist made his doo woop/soul/blues music popular in the same time period of the severe racism in America. I imagine the significance he held for the black community at that time to make it to where he was. He went viral in the 1950's and 60's and after watching the video I understand why. His music is just so catchy and happy. Jackie and Elvis very much respected and were inspired by each other. I was just surprised I'd never heard of or recognized his name before. But it seems very fitting in honor of MLK and black rights.
There are some interesting stories and history on this blog if you want to read more, Jackie Wilson Lover.
