It’s easy to hear why 40 record labels tried to sign this dishwasher 

Seven months ago, aspiring soul singer Leon Bridges was washing dishes at a restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas. On Christmas, six months later, he announced that he’d signed with Columbia Records.

Bobby Hutton.

He joined the Black Panther Party at the age of 16, in 1966. On April 6th, 1968, he was traveling in a car with a few other Black Panther members, when they were ambushed by the Oakland police. They ran for cover in a building nearby. When the police finally threw tear gas into the building, Hutton stripped down to his underwear so that the police would know he was unarmed and he walked out.
