JOINT RESOLUTION
To authorize the Ralph David Abernathy Memorial Founda-
tion to establish a memorial in the District of Columbia
or its environs.
Whereas upheld and revered as a noble champion of the poor,
Dr. Ralph David Abernathy dedicated his life, spiritually
and physically, in service to the monumental ideals of
justice and equality and led his people and his Nation
along a path of righteous change; and fearless fighter in
the war against injustice, poverty, and bigotry, he had
•HJ 183 IH
the conviction to lead and a vision to offer a country
shackled by the chains of segregation;
Whereas, as the cofounder and coleader of the great Amer-
ican Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Abernathy galvanized
the conscience of a generation, changed the moral and so-
cial direction of a Nation, paved the way for millions of
African Americans to realize the American Dream, and
earned for himself a place of exaltation among the pan-
theon of American political and social leaders;
Whereas recognized as inseparable friends and partners in
life and inseparable heroes in death, the perfectly com-
plementary natures of Dr. Abernathy and Dr. King pro-
pelled the movement forward with Dr. King articulating
its nonviolent philosophy and Dr. Abernathy providing its
strategy for success and its spiritual ballast; and the
bond between them was indelibly strengthened during the
more than 40 times that they were jailed together in
their nonviolent quest for justice and equality;
Whereas the grandson of slaves, Ralph David Abernathy was
born March 11, 1926, in Linden, Marengo County, Ala-
bama as the 10th of the 12 children of William L. Aber-
nathy, a farmer and a deacon, and Mrs. Louivory Valen-
tine Abernathy, a devout Christian; and he attended high
school at Linden Academy; enlisted in the military during
World War II and rose to the rank of platoon sergeant;
and upon his honorable discharge, enrolled at Alabama
State College in Montgomery in 1945 where he became
student body and class president and from which he
graduated with High Honors with a bachelor of arts de-
gree; and he began his professional career in 1950 when
he was appointed Personnel Director at Alabama State
College and later assumed the position of Dean of Men
