Kenneth Salaam, who’s also known as Freedom Smitty, was just 15 years old when he began marching alongside members of Cecil B. Moore’s Young Freedom Fighters. Over time, Salaam and Dr. King developed a personal bond. He remembers King not only as a global leader, but as a man—one he felt comfortable calling “Doc,” asking casually for a cigarette. #MLK #MLKDay #MLKjr #martinlutherkingjr #philadelphia #philly #girardcollege
