description Hosea Williams, T. Y. Rogers, Andrew Young, and others are seated behind the podium. The meeting was held during the incarceration of Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Wyatt Tee Walker, and A. D. King; the men had been sentenced to five days in prison during civil rights demonstrations in Birmingham 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").
