Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike
National Guardsmen look on as African-American protesters begin a march to downtown Memphis wearing placards reading, "I AM A MAN." It was the third consecutive march held by the group in as many days. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who had left town after the first march, would soon return and be assassinated.
