Internal rift over Fauntroy as civil rights conference vice chair
Inside the movement there is deep grumbling about Rev. Walter E. Fauntroy, a militant minister linked with King’s SCLC, named as vice chairman of the White House civil rights conference. Critics say he sides with radicals like Marion Barry and resents Johnson’s policy. They compare it to the voting rights bill signing to reward enemies.
