| Summary: Donzaleigh Abernathy, Juandalynn Abernathy,
and Ralph Abernathy, III, recall their father, Ralph David Abernathy and their
own experiences as children in the Civil Rights Movement. The Abernathy
children spent much of their childhoods with the children of Martin Luther
King, Jr. Unlike the King children, the Abernathy siblings actively
participated in direct action, including the Poor People's Campaign. All three
children felt palpably the fear of violence in their everyday lives. This
interview offers an intimate portrait of the home of a civil rights icon and of
the intense friendship between Abernathy and King. |
