Summary:Thousands of people - mostly African Americans, American Indians and Spanish-speaking people - converged on Washington in May to live for a month in Resurrection City, a shanty town specially built for them. The campaigners demonstrated outside the Supreme Court and other official buildings. Police eventually closed the camp and arrested those who refused to leave - including the Reverend Ralph Abernathy, who succeeded Dr. King as organiser. NOTE: Date is approximate. This clip may contain footage from multiple events; exact date or dates may be unknown.
