T. Y. Rogers, Bernard Lee, and Andrew Young are standing around Shuttlesworth. Several people are holding umbrellas. The demonstration took place at night. On October 30, 1967, Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Wyatt Tee Walker, and A. D. King flew to Birmingham from Atlanta to serve a five-day prison sentence that had been ordered during civil rights protests in 1963. (In 1967 the U.S. Supreme Court had 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 |
