This document gives the response of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Reverand Hosea Williams, Reverend James Bevel, Reverend James Orange, Ralph D. Abernathy, and Bernard Lee to allegations by the city of Memphis, Tennessee, that they had been engaged in a conspiracy to incite riots or breaches of the peace. They also denied they had refused to furnish information concerning marches, and explained the steps they had utilized to ensure the march would be non-violent and under control.
