Was the SCLC founded by Dr. King? I have at least one booksource tht says he fouded it. -SeanWDP
- Yes, I believe it was. This needs clarification anyway, as the caption under the picture calls 'Martin Luther King, the founder of the SCLC'. In the 'origins' section it just mentions him being the leader.

- He is referred to here as establishing it, also. Ollieha 12:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

- I guess it depends on how you define "founded." After the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Bayard Rustin in consultation with Dr. King, wrote and distributed working papers advocating that struggles such as the Montgomery and Tallahassee bus boycotts be encouraged across the south, and raising the idea of an organization to coordinate and assist such activities. The response was favorable and others such as Rev. Abernathy and Rev. Lowry, etc, contributed their thoughts. A letter was drafted and sent out over Dr. King's signature inviting some 60 or so black civil rights activists, most of them ministers, to a meeting in Atlanta to discuss the idea. Out of that meeting grew what became SCLC. Since Dr. King signed the initial letter, led the meeting, and became the organization's first president it seems reasonable to refer to him as the "founder."

Last Sentence
"Southern could be related to by all people in the south of the USA, Christian could be related to all Christians across the USA, Leadership could relate to all leaders in the USA and Conference was wisely used as a conference does not exclude anyone, which the word 'Organization' could have." This last sentence needs a rewrite imho. The wording and pattern to it seem very silly. --71.198.23.38 01:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. The use of the term: "USA" seems childish as dose the entire explanation. The entire article needs vast improvement. -- Gusbenz
"The most well known Member of the SCLC was Jesse Jackson, who led the organization until he was assassinated on April 4th 1968."
Umm.. shouldn't that say Martin Luther King?
Page Renders Incorrectly?
It might just be on my computer, but the edit buttons for the first two sections show up on top of the edit button for the third section instead of to the far right of the first two sections. HoCkEy PUCK 00:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
