2:17Now PlayingThe Southern Christian Leadership Conference was founded on January 10, 1957, in Atlanta, Georgia, by more than 60 Black ministers and civil rights leaders.
Following the Montgomery Bus Boycott, SCLC President Martin Luther King Jr. and co-founder Ralph Abernathy would continue to expand on the historic events in Alabama and across the South.
The SCLC would go on to be a major part of every substantive civil rights demonstration in America, including the 1963 March on Washington.
Two years later, the SCLC was instrumental in getting the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed with the support of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
All this and more on “Prime.”
