- Officials plan the enforcement of a curfew imposed over the city following the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4 in Memphis, Tennessee. Unrest following the news of King's death has resulted in the imposed curfew. Pictured left to right are James W. DeLoach, director of the Richland County Civil Defense Unit; John Hamilton of the State Law Enforcement Division; and Col. Clifton B. Wingate of the S.C. National Guard. The group are examining a map of the city in the Civil Defense Headquarters in the Federal Land Bank Building.
