Malden Brothers Barber Shop
by calcaf38
The docent at the Dexter Church Parsonage explained to me that a building nearby, where many important meetings were held, was now vacant - except for an old barber shop. Hmmm, this got me interested. I walked inside the dark barbershop, and I got the most memorable trim in my life. Mr. Malden was a fountain of Civil Rights information, some of it unorthodox and enlightening. The shop was covered in King and Obama memorabilia.
