hmm you're doing now we are and there's a campaign we're going to get out or incentives that the nation's land the huge promissory note we also discover that we had received a bed of how we going to get

that snap two weeks earlier on january fifteenth the poor people's campaign got underway in the basement of the sunday school building and the lebanese are baptist church in atlanta georgia and pastors then where dr king jr and his father i'm with you at the time was beginning to bring on him he'll organizes from a nine northern state would recruit them are with the sclc to talk about ordination financing recruiting and most of all nonviolent thank you

always think of western media but i got it and the railroad i can see right here mm hmm mm hmm he says the nonviolent march will be non violently you have the last massive

nonviolence workout with updike week alone won't sell their own determination you're well and we may in from all the move this missionary dr king had to constantly be animals around it and that we would find many times in three months that you would begin a meeting or i'm in the middle of one then turn over there torpedo when the right one

we knew i mean right now oh yeah congratulations ian

way they were genuine <unk> move thirty nine are we not making the dalai lama coming up when we got to the campaign mccain no wait on you oughta read that meant that down you know what about the argument that now that we got caught in a car when

you know you write about the fact that many of the new media they captured but they are prepared to get down at the piano at that law the peak to peak although paul williams was really inheriting voter registration group sealed the deal or for people in my brain

typically you know you know i'm all right i would give them away and happy because it will be it will be very vocal and then they will go on

you ok question about a lot of back in the one thing that money to the he was not yet people are well you know i think that it is

why is that what is wrong with her and the question what we will come back in again how we knew about any guarantees that that we reached a point where we all aware that you're going to fall oh no the negro community i'm going to fight in it with him and because of income level that they get to do that on a map and i don't want to get right than

they would have been no not i wish it were really one thing they're not ok to the bank of people you're going to buy and it would have done and i think that you know wind and then they would say now did you know we think that we want to believe what they're being the bigger man and then you know combine them i'm in trouble dealing not with one more militant movement specific would do these were some of the unresolved question that meeting individually movement within this bill

is big atlanta airport six am martin luther king's going to mississippi and alabama to talk to people about the campaign but also as internet go with the deal anyway

things a last minute orders for the charter plane company in atlanta that was canceled that was the reason the second company took a trip that threat of violence was always their fear of a bomb in the wind paul vallely they can go on

that's right you're right the

pain ek many many things and at

any point yeah

yeah nice you do oh yeah

get it do you know thank you you know oh yeah

at the peak and the plane along last leg of the trip back to atlanta because a way i'm thinking as that time was something familiar memories of jail food they remember in the banks he's been in jail forty two times in twenty four

do you remember honey pastor study at the ebenezer church in atlanta at lunch

at a planning meeting for the campaign discuss how to present the man in white oh yeah you

know so a camp and will be a lot of it can be a one man who lobby in one day o'connor they are going to vary from capitol hill to the department of government are augmented commerce day in and day out and you we have grown climate group of a report that money on the car with their burial congressional committees are calling us just what we really

won't you that when you look at that the us would not only be beaten with a lot of those people and we get television radio and they think of the idea that this political we don't do that before and maybe before we go again on that day

in the middle of the night and then and we i'll only do me this candidate on election and less we're going out on my end up in grenada mississippi leon hall has found another way to recruit for king's march using already existing organization in this case his own successful two year boycott of white owned stores are told

that when they fail to agree on that so that we're all going through all that we got that but the main business analyst and early march six weeks ago the target in washington was recruiting leon would drive one of the mild they really knew that here was the right man to be working thank

you leon county mississippi well lit over the weekend at npr dot org you really don't want to revive that that would have you read the mail about

daily update eleven in that way the mail it is with no money with me or are our adult lives have a marvelous development and the sense that we assemble here together today you were common problems bringing together at a group

that may have not been the government in this type of meeting in the past that no i haven't been in a meeting like this and it's been one of my dreams that we would come together and realize our common problem and i do want to do this meeting or other outward grew quite been postponed an inmate stabbed worried about weak or no support the number nearly one hundred organizer representing made the surprise them and the death of their commitment was obvious and how poor people were in having the ability to governments the nets and tear them an apology

maybe one day maybe and a smile that we won't get together and be together again powerful org but people imagine that the americans american indians only the appalachian whites or working together all the problem of poverty and the only thing that had to leave nevada california already begun in any pain now good day and there are two words that we play within ourselves the movie among the war that is whether this should be completely forgotten

because we are human being we got you in that the top of i don't know whatever it might be and we are human beings and now the raven that we have the organ at big events like the guy that is that the thing that all the white men down all the black men they'll all of them now and until we realize now that this there they want it would require new ad not been doing that and the other part of the year and until we're at is that we will never get anywhere and we all have that thought and they're united by navy pilot that where we are right now yes we are where they put together the right career

color they've got to live in a paper airplane that's one thing to have the arrogant powers that period when or why black of what every get together that so anybody that one word we want that power and that we'd get around and you have our own oracle arena in atlanta yeah yeah the problem one more week we're going to
