Abernathy predicts large Charleston march against oppression
Reverend Ralph David Abernathy said thousands will march in Charleston on Sunday in a dramatic protest against government oppression. He expects many congressmen and labor leaders to join, and notes the Mothers Day march for the poor was shifted from Washington to Charleston to highlight national attention. The drive seeks union recognition for hospital workers on strike for over six weeks.
