Holy smokes! That picture of Bill Pickett looks eerily like my grandfather, who was the son of a black Mississipi cowboy.
Goose bumps.
Next time you go to a Longhorn Steakhouse you’ll find a large portrait of Bill Pickett hanging on the wall.
I think he was only @ 5’7” IIRC, and there’s a video of him bulldoggin on youtube. Wiry and strong!
