New York State politicians flying to Martin Luther
New York State politicians flying to Martin Luther King's Jr. funeral on April 9, 1968. Governor Nelson Rockefeller (left) talks with NYC Mayor John Lindsay and Charles Kenyatta, leader of Harlem's Mau Maus. New York's elected leaders attended memorials with African American militants after the MLK assassination, partially contributing to the NYC's relative quiet while other cities burned.
