Ultimatum in flux as Rustin seeks control of Poor People's March
Civil rights leader Bayard Rustin gave Poor People's March leaders until noon to cede full authority over the June 19 demonstration or quit as coordinator. He warned of resignation if he cannot lead. The feud centers on a 14 point list by Austin while Abernathy and Williams contest it. The march aims for a mass show of sympathy with jobs, income, and housing demands, while Resurrection City residents shift focus to protest violence and Kennedy’s death.
