Jimi Hendrix, being an African American, agreed with and supported the civil rights movement happening in the sixties. Al, his dad, said that when Jimi was first starting off with his band doing small gigs, he would sit in the whites only section in protest against segregation and would often get arrested. When he got famous, he donated money to the NAACP and to Rev. Martin Luther King and his Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In the picture, he is seen attending one of Martin Luther King Jr’s speeches.
