MLK and My Unusual Middle Name

  • Post author:

Two years ago, I took the time to interview my father, who was one of 300 to accompany Martin Luther King on the famous march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965.

That march had a profound effect on the course of civil rights in this country, and my father’s participation in it had a profound effect on me.

I invite you to read, or re-read, the story I wrote two years ago based on that interview: What’s in a name – an MLK Day Reflection.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
