DescriptionDr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverend Ralph Abernathy, and possibly Daisy Bates walk between two cars as a crowd of white onlookers gather in this black and white photograph. Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth and the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church which they are walking into are hidden from view. There is also a crowd of casually dressed white men looking at the group as they walk, one of which is a plain clothes detective. Bates, Dr. King, and Rev. Abernathy are walking single-file, in that order, between a truck and a car. They are dressed in formal attire. In the background there is an Black man watching the group. Behind him a row of parked cars and be seen along with the skyline of several buildings.On View
