McCall, Walter R.
August 23, 1923 to November 12, 1978
A Baptist minister and close friend of Martin Luther King’s at both Morehouse College and Crozer Theological Seminary, Walter McCall described his relationship with King as the type of “friends who share in the totality of your life’s experiences.” McCall remembered King as “an ordinary student” who “loved the lighter side of life as any normal boy would do” (McCall, 31 March 1970).
McCall was born in Conway, South Carolina, on 23 August 1923, and served in the Army during World War II.
Although six years older than King, the two formed a close friendship while at Morehouse.
5 years ago more.
McCall shared King’s passion for justice: they were part of a group that considered suing a New Jersey tavern owner who had refused to serve them on the basis of race in 1950. McCall observed a change in King when he entered the seminary.
“He began to take his studies more seriously; he began to take preaching more seriously,”
