Continuing a Family Tradition

Receipt from 1966

"In 1957, King, Ralph Abernathy, and other civil rights activists founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The group was created to harness the moral authority and organizing power of black churches to conduct non-violent protests in the service of civil rights reform. King led the SCLC until his death."(1)  As early has November of 1966, Margaret Upton Waning, like her great-great grandfather before her, was providing financial support to American Black social causes.  Her prayers were not longer than her pocketbook!  I like to think that Joah Carter would have been pleased!
