April 1968: Dr. Benjamin Mays E. Delivers Final Eulogy for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr
April 1968: Dr. Benjamin Mays E. delivers final eulogy for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, then recently retired as president of Morehouse College, delivers the final eulogy for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at Morehouse on April 9, 1968. Photograph courtesy of Baylor University. Benjamin Mays and the Rev. Martin Luther King promised each other: He who outlived the other would deliver his friend’s last eulogy. On April 9, 1968, Mays made good on the promise. After funeral services at Ebenezer Baptist Church, King’s mahogany coffin was born to Morehouse College on a rickety farm wagon pulled by two mules. There, Mays, the school’s 70-year-old president emeritus, delivered a final eulogy that also renounced what many saw coming: a turn toward violence for the black movement. King was “more courageous than those who advocate violence as a way out,” Mays told the estimated 150,000 mourners. “Martin Luther faced the dogs, the police, jail, heavy criticism, and finally death; and he never carried a gun, not even a knife to defend himself. He had only his faith in a just God to rely on.” Indeed, King’s assassination by James Earl Ray left many questioning the future of nonviolent protest in the late 1960s. Quoted in Time magazine a week after King’s funeral, Floyd McKissick, chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, offered this sober judgment: “The way things are today, not even Christ could come back and preach nonviolence.” Photo taken by photographer Flip Schulke on April 9, 1968 at Morehouse College. -

The Civil Rights Movement: Timeline 1954-1968
The Civil Rights Movement: Timeline 1954-1968 1954: Brown v. Board of Education This decision, handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States, has been described as the moment that launched the modern civil rights movement. Following years of protest, led initially by black students and their parents at Molton High School in Virginia, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), made five cases challenging the school system. These cases were later combined under what is known as Brown v. Board of Education. The drive to end segregation in schools across the USA and put African-American and white children in the same classroom ‘was based on a belief that the dominant group would keep control of the most successful schools and that the only way to get a full range of opportunities for a minority child was to get access to those schools’, according to Gary Orfield when co-director at the Harvard Civil Rights Project. 1955: The Montgomery Bus Boycott On 1st December 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Parks was tried and convicted for ‘disorderly conduct and violating a local ordinance’. The Women’s Political Council (WPC), alongside other leaders in the black community, seized on this moment and launched a full-blown citywide boycott of the buses. During the early days of the boycott, the WPC urged those involved in the boycott to attend a mass meeting at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church to hear the words of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. -
