Abstract

“Now take me to my people.” That was the statement by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., when he visited President Richard Nixon at the White House during the civil rights era. The people King wanted to see were the African-American employees who worked in the basement of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And one of those employees was a butler.
