Description

Martin Luther King spoke to a gathering at the church building the day this photograph was shot. From 1965 to 1968, Jelinek worked in Alabama and Mississippi as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and as an attorney for the Lawyers Constitutional Defense Committee (LCDC). The image was taken for (but not used in) the article and photo spread "Rallying Support for Poor People's Stay in Washington," which appeared on page 3 of The Southern Courier for February 24-25, 1968. The issue is available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol4_No08_1968_02_24.pdf
