That's the philosophy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. laid before people when he organized SCLC in 1957. He noted the members were to influence moral initiative, spiritual ungirding and mass popular involve ment to the struggle against racial oppression. SCLC opposes war. It promotes voter registration and political education, citizenship clinics and workshops on nonviolence,housing and community development, cooperative business projects and the organizing of poor people at home and abroad. The original name of SCLC was Southern Leadership Conference on Transportation and Nonviolent In tegration. It was organized after a series of meetings in southern states following the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott. One of the biggest movements ever led by SCLC occurred in 1965 in Selma, AL. The group was driving for federal protection of voting rights. The result was a 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery consisting of nearly 50,000 people. According to historical reports, “The Selma movement created nationwide pressure, and Congress responded by passing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, speeding the political revolution in the South.” Three years after the voter rights march, Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis. He was in the city to lead a strike for sanitation workers and organized a Poor” People’s” Campaign. The next SCLC leader was Dr. Ralph Abernathy. He continued to work in the interest of poor people.
