Waldron, Martin. "S.C.L.C. Vows Fight for Integration."
New York Times, August 18, 1968, p. 41.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference passed a political resolution during its 11th
annual convention stating that the price for support of the Democratic ticket in the upcoming
1968 elections would be for the Democrats to adopt a platform calling for the immediate end to
the war in Vietnam and a guaranteed annual wage (two causes former SCLC leader Martin Luther
King was fighting for when he was assassinated).
