2. At one point, he gave a speech concerning discrimination at the Southern Christian Leadership Council at its Freedom Dinner in Birmingham, Alabama.

3. In 1962, he helped raised fifty thousand dollars to rebuild burnt African American churches

4. He also supported Martin Luther King Jr.and his belief in civil rights movements.
