April 11, 1956: In Birmingham, Alabama, Nat King Cole was performing for an all-white audience when halfway through his 3rd song he was attacked on stage by 6 white men. Police arrested the 6 men, they were all members of the Alabama White Citizens Council; jail sentences and fines were given to 4 of the attackers. #natkingcole #whitesupremacy #bornillegal #makebeingblackinamericalegal #hatedforbeingblack
