January 21,2025: The Life and Rhymes of Poet Ben King

1:00 pm Zoom Only
Request a Zoom link by email to info@scottclub.org

By Bob Myers, Director of History Programming, Historical Society of Michigan

Benjamin Franklin King Jr. of St. Joseph, Michigan entertained a national audience with his poetry. His musical and oratorical talents won him a following throughout the Midwest and his dull wit made him a beloved figure among Chicago newspaper reporters and members of the macabre, outlandish Whitechapel Club. But like so many brilliant sparks, he burned out just as he caught fire.

Bob Myers oversees many of the Society’s educational programs, including its Michiganders on the Road motorcoach tours, History Hounds lecture series, History Skills Workshops and Michigan Heritage Home awards. He holds a BA in history from Alma College and an MA in history from Western Michigan University. He has authored numerous books, and his articles have appeared in Michigan History Magazine, Chronicle, and Michigan Historical Review. He and his wife Candace live in Grand Ledge where they are restoring their 1903 Colonial Revival home.

The South Haven Scott Club was organized in 1883 as a reading circle and has been providing cultural events to the community ever since then in its Michigan historic site. Located at the corner of Phoenix Road and Pearl Street in South Haven, Scott Club is a stately Queen Anne style building of sandstone capped by a cupola of carved oak. Two historic windows of Austrian stained glass frame our east and west walls and serve as a cultural icon to the east entrance to the city.
