[History Hounds] Sweet Singer of St. Joseph: Poet Ben King with Robert Myers, Historical Society of Michigan

Ben King Jr., a St. Joseph poet, entertained national audiences. His musical and oratorical talents won him fame, and his wit made him a beloved figure among Chicago newspapermen and members of the macabre Whitechapel Club. Come learn about this brilliant spark who burned out just as he caught fire.
