Tears in Atlanta.
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45752 TEARS IN ATLANTA ATLANTA -- Members cry outside a church where the mother of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was slain by a gunman in Atlanta. One other person was killed in the fusillade of bullets unleashed by a black man regarded by authorities as insane. The famed civil rights leader’s mother was slain as she played the organ in the church in which her son and her husband had served as pastors.
