The father of Lillian Perry marched alongside Dr. King on most of the marches during the 60s. Both Baptist ministers, Dr. Morris Harrison Tynes referred to his friend as Mike. Lillian also marched with Dr. King - Uncle Mike - after he moved to Chicago in the mid-60s. Phils father-in-law, Dr. Tynes, is pictured marching behind or next to Dr. King in these photos from the Selma march. He is wearing black horn-rimmed glasses, suit and tie, and was usually asked to lead the singing in his booming baritone voice, along with the rich soprano of Mrs. King. Dr. Aveda King, niece to Dr. King, has labeled these daring activists who worked and marched alongside MLK, as The Sons of Thunder.
