My family knew the Kings from school (one of the advantages of there only being one black high school in Atlanta in the 40s). I think I'd met her before when I was younger but I remember being pointedly introduced to her at a luncheon of some sort in my teens. I have a funny theatre piece about my Auntie Sis getting her first kiss from Martin.
