Text transcribed from caption: PC-32133 DR. KING MEETS WITH PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is escorted by Vice President Humphrey to the White House for a meeting with President Johnson to discuss the Negro voter registration drive in Selma, Ala. After the conference, the noted Negro Baptist leader said the President “made it clear to me that he plans to offer legislation to Congress specifically on voting rights.” Dr. King, winner of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, spent five days in the Dallas County, Ala., jail. He was arrested on charges of parading without a police permit in Selma where he led demonstrations for Negro registrations. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-2B-65-NAB)
