Marchers Face Housing Crunch in Washington Protest
Leaders of the Poor Peoples March concede serious trouble while vowing we shall overcome. About 1,000 marchers from the Midwest head toward Resurrection City, where housing shortages have forced hundreds to be turned away. Construction of the plywood village continues slowly, with roughly a third of 650 huts completed as SCLC lists a $3 million housing and food need for about 5,000 people in Washington within a week, only $350,000 raised so far.
