Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a New York hotel on Nov. 6, 1964 as he announced plans by college students across the nation to raise funds to feed poverty-stricken African Americans in the deep south at Christmas time. The civil rights leader said students would conduct dinner fast on November 19 and donate the money they would have spent on a meal to a special fund. The project, he said, is called “Thanksgiving Fast for Freedom.” (AP Photo)
