New York: Standing in front of a statue of George Washington, the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy talks to crowd in Wall Street 4/5 prior to a march by nearly 4,000 through the financial district. Abernathy is the chairman of the Southern Christian Leadership Conf. Two mules pulling a small cart led the marchers who wanted a guaranteed annual income of $6,500 complete withdrawal from Indochina by the end of the summer and release of all "political prisoners."
