King and others<\/a> continued the March Against Fear after the shooting, a few friends and I decided to join the March.<\/p>\n<p>One night, there he (Rev. King) was, in the flesh, sitting on the back of a large truck. About ten of us gathered around to listen to him,\u00a0as I recall.<\/p>\n<p>My parents had tried to talk me out of going. They supported Rev. King, but feared for my safety. When I returned from Mississippi, I came down with a terrible flu-like illness and lost my summer job. They didn&#8217;t like that, either. But I feel so privileged that I was\u00a0able to be with\u00a0Rev. King that night.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
