LDF MOURNS DR. KING 

Before departing for-Memphis to join LDF attorneys there, 
Jack Greenberg, director-counsel, NAACP Legal Defense and 
Educational Fund, Inc., issued the following statement: 

"The most effective spokesman for 
peaceful resolution of America's most 
crucial domestic problem has been struck 
down by violence. 

"As his attorneys in Birmingham, 
Selma, Albany, Chicago, Memphis, and 
other historic confrontations, we were 
privileged to know, respect, and love 
him first-hand. 

“This country is no longer the same." ~

Statement by Jack Greenberg, Director-Counsel NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. March 18, 1968 

Re: Newman v. Piggie Park Enterprises 

The Court's decision will facilitate desegregation of public accommodations 
throughout the South because the Court has decided that no one will 
have to pay a lawyer's fee as a ticket of admission to a previously 
segregated facility.
