It was a bare stage, nobody else on the stage, not even a piano, and she sang a couple of overwhelmingly powerful gospel numbers and then she looked out at the audience and she said and now I want you to meet the greatest man since Jesus and that was quite an introduction and she left the stage and Dr. King came out with nothing but a microphone and talked about what was going on in Montgomery and that he was there to try to raise money for his organization and I was really powerfully moved by what Dr. King said and it turned out he was going to speak at an African-American church in South Chicago the next day and so I went over to hear him a second time and then I Went back to my office and called New York and said I wanted to be transferred to Time magazine And go to the South.
