Dr. King's Career Set in Constant Turmoil

(Continued from Page 1)
large-scale protest move against
segregation in Albany, Ga., and
again went to jail with hundreds
of other Negro demonstrators. At
the time Dr. King said, "In the
next few months, we will see one
of the most vigorous assaults on
segregation ever undertaken in
the South."
In 1963, he led the initially
peaceful boycott-demonstration in
Birmingham, Ala., that eventually
turned into a wild debacle, asi
Birmingham's Public Safety Com-
missioner Eugene "Bull'' Conner,
turned fire hoses and dogs on the
black demonstrators.
Selma was the next major tar-
get in the,eloquent minister's ca-
reer. There, he led the'denqonstra-
tions that resulted in the passageL
of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
In the summer of 1966, Dr.
King took his campaign to Chi-
cago, meeting angry white mobs
when marching f*,r open housing
in the western suburb of Cicero.
This was his first major northern
effort, and it proved that opposi-
tion to his doctrine there was as
great as it was in the South.
This past fall, Dr. King was in-
strumental in the election of Ne-
gro Carl Stokes-. to the Cleveland
mayorship. He . spent much time
in that city campaigning in
Stokes' behalf.
Before his tragic death, Dr.
King was to have led his person-
ally-conceived Poor P e o p 1 e s'
March. on the Capitol Bldg. in
Washington, to begin later this
month.
"This is .not going to be a black
march," lie said. "It will be rep-
resented by all of the poor of the
nation. You might say it is a
march by and for the poor people'
of the country." 
Dr. King had planned to make
the mar h a prolonged camp-in
on the Capitol's steps, with ro-
tating shifts of demon trators
from across the country Oledged
not to leave until their demands
for food and jobs were met.

"Exquisite is' only the first
word that surges in my mind
as an appropriate description
of this exceptional film, Its
color is absolutely gorgeous.'
'The use of music and, equally
eloquent, of silences and
sounds is beyond verbal de-
scription. The performances
are perfect-that is the only
word."
