Southern Patriot - Volume 26, Number 4, April 1968
Scope and Contents
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—This city, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated on April 4, has been living a lie—as all U.S. cities are living a lie. Memphis bills itself as “the City of Good Abode.” It crows about its integrated public accommodations and constantly reminds visitors that these were achieved without the necessity or “bother” of marches and demonstrations
