SCLC's New Thrust Under Abernathy Focuses on Jobs Housing
Ten months after Dr. King’s assassination the SCLC under Rev. Ralph Abernathy reorganizes cutting staff and launching a new thrust. The plan emphasizes long term economic political and educational fronts with programs like housing projects and school improvements starting with Philadelphia. Staff reductions from 150 to about 100 precede three months of structural changes while fundraising expands in black communities including a nationwide Tag Day. Operation Breadbasket remains a key program delivering job gains for Negroes in Chicago and beyond.
