SCLC Chief Ray Appeal Supports Bevel's Defense
Ralph David Abernathy head of the SCLC urged nationwide aid for Earl Ray, defended by Rev. James Bevel who vows to defend Ray. Abernathy urged full disclosure of guilt in Dr. King’s assassination and warned against scapegoating Ray, arguing for healing the nation rather than killing. Bevel says he has evidence to free Ray and seeks to move nonviolence to a new dimension. Ray's trial for murder is set for March 3 in Memphis.
