Martin Luther King Jr. and Joan Baez march for school integration in Grenada, Mississippi on September 20, 1966.
(Original Caption) The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. today [Sept. 20] led nearly 200 Negro children to schools where integration last week set off a mob frenzy by whites. Dr. King told a gathering of Negro pupils and parents at the Bellflower Baptist Church before leading them on the demonstration that he could not agree with the black power slogan of ‘‘Burn baby, burn’’ that came out of the 1965 riots in Watts. ‘‘I am forced to disagree with that slogan,’’ Dr. King said. ‘‘I say, ‘Learn, baby, learn’ and ‘Build, baby, build.’’’
