- Description:
- Cameramen are filming the marchers from the back of a truck in the foreground. A billboard on the left reads, "Martin Luther King at Communist Training School," and includes a picture of King seated in an audience. James Meredith began the march on June 5 in Memphis, Tennessee, but was injured by gunshots shortly after setting out. He was not able to rejoin the march until June 25, the day before it ended in Jackson, Mississippi. The event was covered in the issues of The Southern Courier for June 11-12, June 18-19, June 25-26, and July 2-3, 1966, which are available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No24_1966_06_11.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No25_1966_06_18.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No26_1966_06_25.pdf and http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No27_1966_07_02.pdf
