SCLC #450 · Birmingham letter / Atlanta date mismatch
Appendix reproduces a June 18 Birmingham mayor Richard Arrington Jr. letter welcoming expected Alabama passage Sunday June 28 and reporting organizers’ advice of a special Atlanta ceremony “Monday, June 19, 1987” with Coretta Scott King. The “19” is visible in the image — but June 19 was Friday; June 29 was Monday. Booklet Atlanta account (Woodruff Park, King + Max Cleland) dates the ceremony June 29; preceding leaf places Stone Mountain June 28. Most economical reading: mistaken 19 for 29 in the prospective letter — it does not establish an additional June 19 Atlanta event. Adjacent Alabama Gov. Guy Hunt proclamation for Sunday June 28 is a different state/date and does not prove a Birmingham public ceremony.
