Civil rights leader Abernathy vows fast in jail in Memphis
The Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, SCLC chairman, arrived with six staff to surrender at the Memphis county jail vowing a liquid-only fast. He is among 19 civil rights leaders indicted after a seven week classroom boycott aimed at forcing Negroes into greater school voice and hospital union talks. The march from a downtown church snarled Main Street traffic.
