"Sammy Davis, Jr. was one of America’s greatest entertainers of the twentieth century. He could do it all: dancing, singing, acting, impressions. What’s more, he did this at a time when it was difficult to be an African-American in the United States—during a period where even the entertainment industry provided as many obstacles as opportunities. Davis was a champion of civil rights, and he constantly pushed against the boundaries of segregation on- and off-stage. Even though he could have made a fortune playing clubs all over the country, he starred on Broadway in several shows—and shared the first interracial kiss in a Broadway musical. Among his many attributes, he performed for the civil rights movement in Selma and was an avid and gifted photographer. The list goes on.
