Lorraine Hotel Archives - The Washington Informer

Martin Luther King Jr. was a champion for equity in education. Ralph Abernathy and his wife Juanita Abernathy (not pictured) follow with Dr. and Mrs. Martin Luther King, Jr., as the Abernathy children march on the front line, leading the Selma to Montgomery March in 1965. The children are (from left) Donzaleigh Abernathy (in striped sweater), Ralph David Abernathy III and Juandalynn R. Abernathy (in glasses). The name of the White minister in the photo is unknown.
