This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... this was a significant person in the Memphis Sanitation Strikes prior to the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. and is a significant historical figure. He also may have died recently. --Sepideh (talk) 20:09, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
