For example, Daddy was the best friend the blacks ever head but strangely, his attending the Woolworth sit-in to egg on the mob was somehow left out of the book.

A book was written in the mid to late seventies about Red Hydrick and his business by his daughter. I can't remember the name; but, if you can find it, it's an interesting read. Hydrick was a colorful figure.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-84051578442513604752015-07-11T22:17:08.830-05:002015-07-11T22:17:08.830-05:00My grandfather owned a cabinet shop on what is now...My grandfather owned a cabinet shop on what is now Medger Evers Blvd. I worked for him after school(Bailey Jr. High). Red was one of our best customers. We built the insides of the Gold Coast building where he dispensed his product. My Granddaddy got paid in merchandise. He used to go outside and shoot the stop sign just to let folks know not to break into his establishment.

Red Hydrick and the Muses were two of the better know distributors. As an 8 year old I took a ride with Red and several young girls down the river in a fancy wooden inboard. You didn't mess with Red he was always packing a Colt 45 and used it on more than one occasionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
