Sammy Davis Jr. Goes To Washington
Here's a picture of Sammy Davis Jr. at a party in Washington, D.C. in 1964. Sammy was very involved in politics, fighting for civil rights for all Americans. He also was a supporter of other causes as well. I wish I could have been at this party. He definitely had to be a star attraction there.

I would have walked side by side with Sammy.
They are totally paying attention to him.
Amazing photo Keith, I love your Sammy posts. Such a fascinating and interesting guy.
I think I would've been involved in civil rights as well back then, who is the lady next to him?
Hey Phoebe. I would definitely have given him my support.
Hey Wolf. They do seem to be checking him out.
Hey Gabbi. Thanks. I appreciate that. I really love doing posts on Sammy.
Hey Amy. I would have wanted to have been involved in fighting for civil rights. I think the woman is Ethel Kennedy.
always appreciate the b/w photography - well done
I wish someone would invent a time machine. I'd love to go back and meet Sammy.
I can remember as a kid my friends being afraid of him. But to me he was the coolest man alive. Michael Jackson could never compare.
Apparently when I was 3 I just had to learn to snap my fingers because of Sammy.
love how sleek his hair looks :o]
Nice photo from Sammy...as always...I really enjoy Ur blog Keith!
Have a great day!
XoXo
I like this picture, as he seems to have enticed all the people in the room.;))
Sammy, always lighting up a room!
Well take about paying attention to someone :D
I like how the girl in white dress looks a little bit disgusted, looks hilarious!
Hey Scott. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed this photo.
Hey Jami. Thanks for commenting. He's definitely one of the top people I would want to meet if I could go back in time.
He's one of my favorite entertainers of all time. He could do it all, whether it was singing, dancing, acting, telling jokes, doing impressions, etc.
Most of the kids I knew, both black and white, made fun of him. It always ticked me off.
Hey Terence. I know. He had some cool hair.
