- Description:
- In this WSB-TV newsfilm clip, Ralph Abernathy is interviewed regarding the election of Coretta Scott King to the Board of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The interview is conducted outside, on the morning of Good Friday, April 12, 1968.
The interview opens with a question from an unidentified reporter off camera, who asks if Mrs. King's election is honorary or if she will be actively participating on the Board of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Dr. Abernathy notes that the Board meets at least two times per year and has emergency meetings at other times. They welcome Mrs. King's commentary and advice, but do not want to put an undue burden on her given that she has four small children to raise.
An off camera female asks a question regarding Dr. Abernathy's fast. He responds that A.D. King is standing at his side as he stood at the side of Martin Luther King, Jr., and that he will continue to fast through Good Friday, but that he may break the fast the next day.
An off camera female asks if Mrs. King will be coming out. Dr. Abernathy says that she will not be appearing that day.
