One of my favorite stories in regards to #MLK and his connection to Cincinnati: MLK made a handful of visits to Cincinnati to speak. 1/5 
On 10/24/1964, MLK was to take a motorcade from Zion Baptist Church on Glenwood Ave to Parktown Playground at Linn and Liberty St. for a rally/speech. 2/5
Upon his arrival, MLK made a beeline for the church piano where he gave an impromptu performance, playing various hymns along with a few church members who would be participating in the motorcade. 3/5
After hand shakes and small talk, MLK noticed some boys playing basketball outside on the church lot and proceeded to join them, delaying the motorcade departure nearly an hour. 4/5
One of the best quotes from his speech? This. 5/5
