...mettle was soon tested. At 9:15 one night a year ago, King was speaking at a mass meeting; Coretta King was talking to a friend in the living room of the parsonage at 309 South Jackson Street. Coretta heard a thud on the porch and thought it was a brick, nothing particularly frightening around the King home during that period. She and the friend moved to a back room to continue their conversation-and a dynamite bomb went off, filling the vacant living room with a hail of broken glass...
...Please be peaceful," he said from the shattered front porch. "We believe in law and order. We are not advocating violence. We want to love our enemies. I want you to love our enemies. Be good to them. Love them and let them know you love them. I did not start this boycott. I was asked by you to serve as your spokesman.

The stage is rather small for a set which needs to represent two rooms and a porch, and the lighting equipment is barely adequate. As a result the director and his designer, Alfred Kaufman, were forced to stage a few scenes in such a manner that the furniture partially obscured the actors. But the set did have appropriately grubby appearance of a house in a poor section of New Orleans...
