Ralph Abernathy 1926-1990
Rev. Ralph Abernathy was a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and beyond.
As the young pastor of First Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL, he and Martin Luther King, Jr. were among the leaders of the 1955-56 Montgomery Bus Boycott organized in response to the arrest of Rosa Parks. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/freedomriders/people/ralph-abernathy
After Dr. King's death, Mr. Abernathy took over the leadership of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which he ran for nine years.
Many of the conference's leaders had misgivings, but Dr. King had wanted it that way.
He had always praised Mr. Abernathy's help, and Mr. Abernathy consistently said that he did not mind being in Dr. King's shadow and that the two were never rivals.
And yet there were accusations in 1989 that Mr. Abernathy had abused Dr. King's trust.
The complaints came from prominent leaders in the civil rights movement after publication of Mr. Abernathy's autobiography, ''And The Walls Came Tumbling Down,'' in which he wrote that Dr. King had been an adulterer. http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0311.html
