volunteerers are set up a voter drive. came down make a mockery out of courthouse. we re not going to have it. in spring 1965 residents turned to dr. king for help. we are tired of having registrars refusing to register us and allow us to vote. sncc did a lot of work but when martin luther king came and the media game, it was described as martin luther king s work. there was always this tendency to want to challenge dr. king s leadership. and john didn t share that. john wanted to change the world. and he wasn t thinking about credit. martin luther king was his hero and his example and model. i think they shared a total commitment. there was no moral compromise.
