The banquet was traditionally held at the Taylor Country Club which did not permit colored people in the facility unless they were workers. Under the threat of relocating the annual banquet, the country club permitted Dr. Dickey to come as a guest...through the back door. When his award was announced, he was received with both cheers and jeers.
