The meeting was to discuss continuing strategy for the Civil Rights Movement. There were, at this point, several different directions in which they could go. The irony of this meeting is that King was not pleased that most of the other leaders did not place the strategic importance of the Memphis strike that he did. They wanted him do appear in other venues for other purposes. His statement about getting killed was meant for the others to consider carefully how and why they wanted King to appear. In a few days, he was killed in Memphis—not implementing one of the other leader’s “brilliant” ideas, but implementing his own where most of them thought it of secondary importance and would prefer that he appear elsewhere instead. After King’s assassination, every leader at that meeting wished that he had been more persuasive in talking King out of the Memphis activity.
