Description

Martin Luther King, Jr., is seated behind him. The meeting was held after King, Ralph Abernathy, Wyatt Tee Walker, and A. D. King were released from a prison sentence that had been ordered during civil rights demonstrations in 1963. (In 1967 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that they had to serve their time in jail.) The prison sentence was discussed in The Southern Courier for November 4-5, 1967 ("King in B'ham Jail: 'Small Price to Pay'"), and the subsequent mass meeting was covered in the issue for November 11-12, 1967 ("It's Like Old Times in B'ham"). Both issues are available online (not on the ADAH website: http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol3_No45_1967_11_04.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol3_No46_1967_11_11.pdf
