Minister Suhkara Yahweh (Sweet Willie Wine)

Surprisingly, there is not much on the web about this week's guest. Now there is at least, this. Minister Suhkara Yahweh was once known as Sweet Willie Wine. A man who had been in prison and came out with a new plan. To get involved in the Civil Rights Movement here in Memphis.

In April of 1968, he was one block away from The Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Since then, he has led a life working in the non-violent peace movement promoting civil rights and other causes.

You will hear the entire conversation as it happened on the air at Radio Memphis.
