Photos of civil rights leader Dr. Reginald Hawkins.
On a chilly morning in November of 1965, Dr. Reginald Hawkins and his family were awakened by a loud and thunderous boom outside their suburban home just Northwest of Downtown Charlotte. At approximately that very same moment, three other booms were heard outside the homes of other local civil rights leaders.
