Error in Kenny Washington's political affiliation
The wikipedia page states that Kenny Washington was a lifelong Republican. This is false. Source: Interview with Kenny Washington's daughter, Karin. She stated both her mom and dad voted for Kennedy when Nixon ran against him. When Kenny Washington was younger he was a member of Independents for Nixon but that was early in Nixon's career. Washington supported some Republican candidates from time to time but never declared a political party affiliation and Karin said this was intentional. He did tend to vote Democratic 1960 and later.

The interview I did with Karin was for my book "Lost Champions: Four Men, Two Teams and the Breaking of Pro Football's Color Line". I cite these details in the end notes.

The Kenny Washington page is semi-protected so I'll come back and edit the page itself with proper referencing once I've made enough edits elsewhere to meet the requirements to edit a semi-protected page.

 * Thanks very much for the correction. Sorry it took so long to get it into the article. If you see this message, would be so kind as to add the page number that contains this bit from your book? Or if you're unsure how, contact me using  on this page and I'll do it. — howcheng   {chat} 19:06, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Washington’s final game
Where NFL.com writer Adam Rank got the idea that 80,000 people saw Kenny Washington’s final game as a pro is mystifying. Attendance that day (Dec. 12, 1948) was 27,967 according to the next day’s LA Times. 2600:8800:982:FA00:D0E6:EF3A:21B:9F4E (talk) 04:59, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
