A. D. King arrived at the Gaston Motel about 1:30 A.M., the uprising near his home having finally died down. He rushed into Kelly Ingram Park with the loudest megaphone, and soon could be heard above the other preachers: “Our home was just bombed…Now if we who were in jeopardy of being killed, if we have gone away not angry, not throwing bricks, if we could do that and we were in danger, why must you rise up to hurt our cause? You are hurting us! You are not helping! Now won’t you please clear this park.”
