- What You Need to Know About Me:
- I AM THE YOUNGEST African-American in the state of KY who marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, JR in 1961 at age 13 yrs who went to jail repeatedly for EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS who has NEVER moved away from my native city, Louisville, KY, the 16th largest city in the nation and home to Louisville's own "Good Morning America's" Diane Sawyer. My cousins the Keesee's in Nashville, TN are best friends with Oprah Winfrey's father, Vernon. I have agreed to publish someone else's story who lives in Atlanta. Now I get to pick out which Hampton Hotel in Chicago for me to stay. My life is being made into a movie by Jerry Bruckheimer who produces CSI and has won an Oscar before. Due to the small amount of money offered by an actor who lives in Mississippi, I was unable to reach any agreeable terms. My Caucasian Great-great grandfather, Dr. John C. Whitlock served in the state legislature in KY and knew Abraham Lincoln very well even though Dr. John owned my slave great-great grandmother. He had to release her in 1865 after his bi-racial son, John Whitlock was born. Plain John Whitlock was my late grandfather's father. My late grandfather, Charles D. Whitlock was the 1st African-American florist in the state of KY whose first business sign was painted by Muhammad Ali's father, an artist and sign painter. I met Marcia during a book signing in Long Island, NY after I had been asked by William Rhoden, author of "The Forty Million Dollar Slaves" if he could buy a copy of my book, "Whitlock's Compositions". I was sent a letter from the NY Times asking me to purchase their subscription. I have. My mayor has an extremely close friendship with his high school friend, Diane Sawyer. Look for me on GMA soon.
