In 1969, (Samuel L.) Jackson and several other students held members of the Morehouse College board of trustees (including Martin Luther King Sr.) hostage on the campus, demanding reform in the school’s curriculum and governance. The college eventually agreed to change its policy, but Jackson was charged with and eventually convicted of unlawful confinement, a second-degree felony.

In case anyone gets curious, yes this was the actor Samuel L. Jackson. He was also an usher at MLK Jr’s funeral.
