Porsha Williams could not be prouder of her granddad. He’s Hosea Williams, who was a rally important civil rights activist.
She’s mentioned him a lot on her social media account in relation to charitable causes, and she’s doing it again for Black History Month. Check out her latest post below.
‘Love this! Hosea Williams, American civil rights leader and politician (born Jan. 5, 1926, Attapulgus, Ga.—died Nov. 16, 2000, Atlanta, Ga.), was a significant figure in the struggle against segregation and served with the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., as an organizer and advanced man. He helped lead such demonstrations as the “Bloody Sunday” march in Selma, Ala., in 1965, during which marchers seeking voting rights for African Americans were tear-gassed and brutally beaten, and he was present when King was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968.#hoseawilliams#blackhistorymonth#blackisbeautiful #Rp @osterling11,’ Porsha captioned her post.

Another follower said: ‘They say PJ looks like DENNIS, nor all TRUE, I thought this was PJ for a sec,’ and one other fan posted: ‘Sweetheart was he your grandfather? What a great man he had to be.’
One of Porsha’s fans said: ‘Girl you and your daughter are twinning.’
An Instagrammer posted this: ‘Oh wow. He was born in Attapulgus, GA. that’s literally right next to my hometown in South Georgia (Bainbridge).’
Another backer wrote that ‘PJ looks like her great grandfather, especially by the eyes.’
Just the other day, Porsha made her fans happy when she shared a photo with her niece, Baleigh, on her social media account.
