Talk:Clennon Washington King Jr.

New article

Obviously needs improvement. This interesting character deserves a better article, and arguably members of his family should have ones of their own. Шизомби (talk) 17:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Things I know to be missing: all the other many offices he ran for, a sense of what an unusual person he was, his four marriages, children, his educational and religious history, the college he oversaw at his church. Шизомби (talk) 19:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Writing by King?

Came across this on Amazon: The Clennon King story: The shocking story of another incident in which a negro, who dared to speak out against the NAACP, was intimidated and threatened with death by Clennon King (State Times: 1958). Not clear if it's actually a book or what.

Also "I Speak as a Southern Negro," from the American Mercury, January 1958 Шизомби (talk) 18:40, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

1970?

Apparently tried to run as a candidate for office, but what office? http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/433/433.F2d.995.30070_1.html A few articles say he ran for Governor of Georgia that year, but hat seems clearer is that his brother C.B. King ran "and was the first black candidate for that office; he came in third and forced a runoff between Jimmy Carter and Carl Sanders." Perhaps they both ran?

Remove the period from the title

Just clicked through to this article from facebook. Except, actually, I didn't. Facebook parses the URL to the page without the period at the end, treating it as punctuation rather than including it in the hyperlink.

There is absolutely no world in which facebook is the only platform parsing the URL this way. The period needs to be removed from the title. 125.239.47.191 (talk) 23:06, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
