(MARTIN LUTHER KING.) Group of snapshots depicting a 1965 visit from King, and the 1968 Memphis march in his honor. 7 photographs, various sizes; minor wear. Various places, 1965-1968 and undated
Two of these photographs depict a 28 April 1965 visit by Dr. King to Rock Island, IL in the wake of a record-setting Mississippi River flood. In both he is seen talking with area residents at the Prince Hall Masonic and Order of the Eastern Star Home. One of them also shows the Rev. Ralph Abernathy from behind. Both are carefully captioned on verso by Jeanette Hannah, matron of the home. They are accompanied by 3 period duplicate prints; all are about 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.
Two other photographs show the march in Memphis on 8 April 1968, just 4 days after King's assassination. One 4 x 5-inch image shows marchers on a suburban sidewalk, several of them holding the iconic "Honor King, End Racism" posters. The other, 5 x 7 inches, shows 4 students from Western Illinois University posed in front of an ABC camera. Both are captioned and dated on verso.
WITH--two small earlier portraits of possibly unrelated women, one of them captioned by name.
