He was ordained in the Baptist tradition in 1948. As a leader of the civil rights movement, he was a close friend and mentor of Martin Luther King Jr. He collaborated with King and E. D. Nixon to create the Montgomery Improvement Association, which led to the Montgomery bus boycott, and co-created and was an executive board member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). He became president of the SCLC following the assassination of King in 1968; he led the Poor People's Campaign in Washington, D.C., as well as other marches and demonstrations for disenfranchised Americans. He also served as an advisory committee member of the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE). In 1971, Abernathy addressed the United Nations speaking about world peace. He also assisted in brokering a deal between the FBI and American Indian Movement protestors during the Wounded Knee incident of 1973. He retired from his position as president of the SCLC in 1977 and became president emeritus. Later that year he unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives for the 5th district of Georgia. He later founded the Foundation for Economic Enterprises Development, and he testified before the U.S. Congress in support of extending the Voting Rights Act in 1982. In 1989, Abernathy wrote And the Walls Came Tumbling Down, a controversial autobiography about his and King's involvement in the civil rights movement. He was ridiculed for statements in the book about King's alleged marital infidelities. Abernathy eventually became less active in politics and returned to his work as a minister. He died of heart disease on April 17, 1990. His tombstone is engraved with the words I tried.

Book First Edition
Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Dust Jacket Condition: ottimo. prima edizione. E le mura crollarono è la coinvolgente e magistrale storia di due figure carismatiche del movimento per i diritti civili. Se Martin Luther King può essere paragonato a Mosè, il reverendo Ralph David Abernathy, recentemente scomparso, è stato come Giosuè: al suo fianco in tutte le battaglie e infine suo successore. Nel 1956, quando Rosa Parks venne arrestata per essersi rifiutata di cedere il suo posto su un autobus di Montgomery, in Alabama, è stato Abernathy a fare in modo che King si unisse alla protesta. Insieme hanno guidato lo storico boicottaggio degli autobus che si protrasse per 381 giorni. Nel corso dell'apertura di questa fase della moderna lotta per i diritti civili, la casa di Abernathy e la sua chiesa sono state fatte saltare con la dinamite. Abernathy e King hanno contribuito alla fondazione della Conferenza della Leadership cristiana meridionale, l'organizzazione che scaturì dal boicottaggio. Migliore amico e collaboratore di King, insieme a lui Abernathy è stato incarcerato più di quaranta volte nel corso del loro cammino non violento. Le loro proteste e le loro marce li hanno condotti in tutto il sud, Selma, Albany, Birmingham, e anche a Washington e a Chicago. Le loro vittorie, e persino le loro sconfitte, hanno portato a radicali cambiamenti sociali e giuridici in tutto il paese. Nel 1968 Martin Luther King venne assassinato; morì tra le braccia di Abernathy. Durante quel periodo di enorme tensione, Abernathy ha preso in mano le redini del movimento non violento. E le mura crollarono racconta le grandi proteste per l'emancipazione dei neri americani; ricorda le amare sconfitte, le sofferenze e le morti patite; ma celebra anche le vittorie che hanno integrato la società attuale, che hanno dato potere economico e politico ai diseredati e che hanno portato speranza alla gente che speranze non aveva. E le mura crollarono è la storia di un uomo eccezionale seguito passo passo pure nella sua vita privata, nella sua costante capacità di divertirsi e di coinvolgere gli altri nel divertimento, nel suo debole per le donne, che furono nel suo letto, in un motel di Memphis, anche la notte prima dell'assassinio. «Martin era un eroe commenta l'autore e le donne sono sempre state attratte dagli eroi». E la vita privata di Martin Luther King attirò pure l'attenzione di J. Edgar Hoover, capo dell'FBI, che cominciò a piazzare microfoni nelle varie stanze degli alberghi dove si recava l'apostolo della non violenza per raccogliere notizie sulla sua vita sessuale.

Signed inscription by Abernathy is clean, sharp, and bright, but there is some wrinkling throughout the photo. A Very Good copy. A stunning portrait photograph of one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement with his signature and inscription. Ralph David Abernathy, Sr. (1926-1990) was a Baptist minister and close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Abernathy held many prominent positions in relation to the movement and was instrumental in many of the efforts to secure equal treatment and rights for African Americans. He, King, and other African-American ministers and community leaders formed the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) which helped organize the Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama. The boycott lasted over a year from December 5, 1955-December 20, 1956 to protest against segregation and racial discrimination targeting African Americans on Montgomery bus lines. At the time, there were no African-American bus drivers on the Montgomery bus line and African-American passengers were forced to sit in the back rows of the bus. The front rows were reserved for white passengers. Black or white passengers could sit in the middle rows, but if a white passenger wanted to sit in a middle row, black passengers would have to move to the back. Other discriminatory practices were implemented on the Montgomery bus line such shortchanging African-American passengers and forcing African-Americans to pay their fare in the front and then enter through the back (in some cases, bus drivers would leave African-American passengers stranded after they paid their fare and exited to re-enter the bus through the back). These practices, coupled with the fact that about 3/4 of Montgomery passengers were African-American, prompted backlash and protests from African-American communities. The Montgomery bus boycott actually caused significant economic disruption for the city and was largely successful as it was a factor in the landmark case of Browder v. Gale (1956), which officially ended all bus segregation in Alabama by deeming the practice unconstitutional. The boycott also inspired similar boycotts, protests, and other acts of nonviolent civil disobedience as part of the effort to secure racial equality for all. Abernathy's work did not stop with the Montgomery boycott. Among his other work, Abernathy co-founded and became one of the presidents of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), a civil rights organization, and helped with negotiations during the Wounded Knee Occupation of 1973. For the rest of his life, Abernathy advocated for and led civil rights causes. Biographical information referenced from Wikipedia. Inscribed by Author(s).
