Description
Public Law 107-271 redesignates the post office at 265 South Western Avenue in Los Angeles, California, as the Nat King Cole Post Office. Before the naming section, Congress filled the act with findings about Cole's life, which is unusual for a postal law.
The findings say Cole was born Nathaniel Adams Coles in Montgomery, Alabama, raised in poverty on Chicago's south side, and met racism through his career, including a 1956 stage attack in Birmingham. They call him the best selling African-American recording artist of his generation and recall that his television show was the first hosted by an African-American artist.
