Reactions Split Over King Vietnam Stand Across Cities
Mississippi NAACP leader Charles Evers says King’s antiwar stance won’t shift local issues and predicts white backlash. Atlanta’s Rev. Samuel Williams expects aggravation of white resistance but little civil rights impact. Saginaw mayor Henry Marsh worries about guns vs aid, sees possible harm to civil rights if King’s remarks hurt the movement. Others, including New York’s William Booth and San Francisco mayor John F. Shelley, say civil rights and Vietnam are separate, while Chicago and Cleveland figures offer mixed views on potential effects.
