Charles Hamilton is the president of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club. Charles is a wealth of information about the organization's history. He describes Zulu's early beginnings and the memorable 1949 parade when Louis Armstrong ruled as King Zulu and appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. Charles also recalls the organization's crisis during the Civil Rights movement, when membership dwindled to16. And, of course, we had to talk about the famous Zulu coconuts.
