Hosea Lorenzo Williams (January 5, 1926 – November 16, 2000) was a United States
civil rightsleader,
ordained minister,
businessman,
philanthropist,
scientist, and
politician. He may be best known as a trusted member of fellow famed
civil rights activist and
Nobel Peace Prize winner
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s inner circle. Under the banner of their flagship organization, the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference, King depended on Williams to organize and stir masses of people into
nonviolent direct action in the myriad of protest campaigns they waged against
racial,
political,
economic, and
social injustice. King alternately referred to Williams, his chief field lieutenant, as his "bull in a china closet" and his "
Castro".
Inspired by personal experience with and his vow to continue King's work for the poor, Williams may be equally well known as the founding president of one of the largest
social services organizations for the poor and hungry on holidays in
North America, Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless. His famous motto was "Unbought and Unbossed" (which was also the motto of former
U.S. Representative Shirley Chisholmof
New York City).
