Southern Christian Leadership Conference Plans Poor People's Campaign

Clay said the SCLC will hold its Poor People's Campaign from June 19 to June 21, starting in Marks, Miss., and ending in Lambert, Miss. Clay said he will will meet with leaders in Mississippi on Tuesday for a tour of the Delta region.

Clay said his respect and admiration for the founders of the SCLC , including King and the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy , is the foundation for his strategy for the organization, which was born in 1957, the same year as Clay.
