CONFIDENTIALS

Martin Luther King

According to this first source, Jones suggested

to King thạt King, A. Phillip Randolph (head of the Brotherhood

jore ng to the fa

of Sleeping Car Porters) and Roy Wilkins (Executive

Secretary - National Association for the Advancement of

Colored People) issue a call to the six organizations

(presumably civil rignts organizations) and to the Negro

population of the nation

for a work stoppage or a period of

silence at the time of the funeral for the Birmingham bombing

victims. Jones stated that the funeral was to be held

Wednesday September 18, 1963, at 3:30 p.m.

Jones also stated

that this type of proposal would demonstrate King's leadership

In civil rights in this country. King stated that he felt

that this idea was an excellent one and that immediate action

would have to be taken.

The first source further advised that on

the same

date, Clarence Jones spoke to Bayard Fustin (Deputy

Director of the March on Washington) advising him that Jones.

and King had discussed a tentative plan whereby King,

Randolph,

Wilkins and the other three Negro organizations would issue

a joint appeal, to the Negro citizenry and our friends in the

white community, that there be a

complete stoppage of activity,

a national standstill of activity for five or ten minutes aù

the time of the funeral of the Birminghali bombing victims.

Rustin agreed that something like this should be done but

stated that there was not sufficient time to do it properly.

Rustin further stated that it was his opinion that king could

do a much better job after the funeral and suggested to Jones

that they take more time to think this through more carefully.
