RIP to Hal Williams! In addition to articles about his acting, the Los Angeles Sentinel archive is full of #HalWilliams reports about his charity work as he emceed/participated in many local community events (incl’g several trips down the Compton Christmas parade route in the 1980s). A few examples:
LA Sentinel article (Oct 7, 1982) reads: TV Star Adds Spark To Dinner Hal Williams, co-star of the CBS-TV hit series "Private Benjamin" will serve as emcee for the 15th Annual Awards Dinner sponsored by the Watts Health Foundation, Saturday, Oct. 9 at the Sheraton Plaza LaReina Hotel, 6101 W. Century Blvd. at 8:15pm According to Dr. Clyde Oden of the Foundation, a number of community service awards will be presented in addition to employee service awards for five, 10, and 15 years service. Honorees include Mayor Tom Bradley, Congressman Mervyn Dymally, Jim Cleaver, Executive Editor, Los Angeles Sentinel, and the Rev. Thomas Kilgore, Pastor, Second Baptist Church. Dr. Leroy Weeks of Drew Medical Center will be among those honored.”
LA Sentinel article (September 3, 1987) with a grainy portrait of Hal Williams reads: Williams To Speak Hal Williams of "227" will be the celebrity speaker at the First Baptist Church, 858 W. 98th St., Sunday, Sept. 13, at 4 p.m. Williams will speak at the Second Annual Back-To-School Prayer service.
A grainy newspaper photo from the Los Angeles Sentinel (December 29, 1988) shows Hal Williams, Marla Gibbs, Willie Tyler holding Lester, and Reynaldo Rey at the First AME Holiday Banquet, a fundraiser to help support the church. Wish I could find a better photo of this moment.
An excerpt from an article in the Los Angeles Sentinel (September 30, 1993) announces the 16th Annual Dr. Mayme Clayton Golf Classic held in the recently-demolished Royal Vista Golf Course in Walnut. Hal Williams is listed as one of the celebrity hosts, along with J.D. Hall, Anne-Marie Johnson, Carl Lumbly, Felton Perry, and Dick Anthony.

Hal Williams, the actor known for his turns as the friendly neighborhood cop Smitty on Sanford and Son and as Marla Gibbs’ patient husband on another popular NBC sitcom, 227, has died. He was 91.
