- (22 Jun 1966) Dr Martin Luther King leads a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) march in Philadelphia, Mississippi. The marchers carry signs commemorating three murdered CORE field workers: James Chaney, Andrew Woodman and Michael Schwerner. White truck drivers intimidate the civil rights marchers as they gather near the County Jailhouse and Mr Ralph Abernathy speaks and leads the marchers in prayer.

I live here in Philadelphia MS all my life and i am 48 and i notice all the places they were at....we have changed its almost just about non racist we still have it but it is not evident as it was when he marched our streets.....WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY
They were so brave!
I have never seen this before
My former pastor, Rev. Clinton Collier was standing right there behind Dr. King and Rev. Abernathy. He was a Freedom Fighter all the way to the end of his life.
I started first grade just a few miles away in Louisville MS in 1966.
The scene where the marchers are crossing the railroad tracks is the most evocative image for me of this event. Something about it almost gives me chills, it's so reflective of that long-ago era in our nation's history. Also strikes me how noone seemed bothered by what must've been intense heat, June, I believe, with little or no air-conditioning available en route. Few places had it, even as late as 1966. I also wonder how other needs were met, food, drink, biological, etc. This march, as all the others, took both courage & stamina. I'm not sure we have it in ourselves anymore to do, and accomplish, what these brave Americans did in those now vanished times.
Dr king was looking sharp in the beginning.
I live here
It cut off when they were praying i wanted to here it
This was the only time I saw M.L.K Jr visibly shaken & frightened. He even said that Philadelphia ,Ms. and Cicero, Chicago where the only time he truly felt frightened.
You mean to tell me that he's scared of the people he want us to integrate with,sad.
@@vanessadorahill292 Fair point, at face value. However, the call for integration was not about some random desire to have 'new White friends'. It was primarily about the demand for equal ACCESS... The 'nicer side' of it, i guess, was a hope that folks could put away ridiculous hatred for those of African origin n be cool. Dr. King was shaken by being in the midst of a terrorist state(s) without military protection not to mention mad personal weapons on hand. Dunno if I could've done that! yikes...
Vanessadora Hill you fuckin stupid
I was thinking he seemed shaken in this video. I wonder if the sunglasses were not only for the sun but also to sort of distance himself from what was going on. It must have been so hard for him.
Nobody putting up with none that shit anymore
Such a volatile time back then
Still is

Brave people. I remember seeing them that day. We lived beside the rr tracks and they marched by our house. We were outside playing. I was 6 years old, born and raised still living here. Things have changed a lot since then. 🙏
