Garnett Day Jr., an official of the Disciples of Christ, was about to emplane for New York when he heard that King was calling for help. Day walked back into the terminal, bought a ticket for Alabama. Also in Indianapolis, Jewish Mission Worker David Goldstein had an appointment to seek a salary raise from his boss; he canceled it and headed for Selma.
