Description
[N.p., probably Atlanta]: June 24, 1968. Very good plus.. 4pp., mimeographed on loose sheets, paper-clipped. Mild wear. A rare document from inside the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, listing the names and locations of seventy-five paid staff members who were currently on assignment outside the nation's capital. The document is dated June 24, 1968, just over two months after the assassination of SCLC founder Martin Luther King, Jr. The names are listed alphabetically beginning with Victoria Gray Adams in Mississippi and ending with Tommy Wrenn in Birmingham, Alabama, with two other names appended after his. The locations of assignments for the SCLC staff are mainly located in the South, but also range from New York City to Illinois to California. In eight cases, the person's name is followed by a question mark for assigned city, indicating the SCLC headquarters was unaware of the location for those staff members. The present document comes from a moment of transition for the SCLC. Ralph Abernathy took over leadership of the organization following Dr. King's assassination, and the group shifted their focus to smaller campaigns and voter registration drives. The present work came from a collection of SCLC material out of Atlanta once belonging to Hosea L. Williams, the director of the SCLC's Southern Program.
