Two other men (one of whom is a clergyman) are standing on the steps behind them. Martin Luther King spoke to a gathering at the church building the day this photograph was shot. 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
