Rainbow Coalition Press Conference Following MLK Assasination
When Martin Luther King was killed on April 4, 1968, the early Rainbow Coalition held a press conference at WTTW Channel 11 Studios in Chicago. A photo by Linn H. Ehrlich captured the spirit of the times and the organizing and sharing across racial and ethnic groups that was emerging in Chicago’s neighborhoods. Pictured are members of the Black Panthers, Young Lords, Young Patriots, and Rising Up Angry.
