MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Fol

marched Monday to the motel
where he was assassinated 20 years
ago and promised to keep fighting
to reach his “promised land” by call

poor.
“Until we wipe out poverty in the
ghetto, nowhere can be safe. No
where can be secure, for one hungry
person speaks in misery to every
body,” said Joseph Lowery, presi
dent of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, a civil rights
organization founded by King.
“There ain’t going to be no peace
in the suburbs until there is justice in

Fifty members of Lowery’s orga

from the motel Monday on a combi
nation march and motorcade
through Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia, but the “poor people’s pil
grimage” was delayed a day because
two mules did not arrive on time.
King was assassinated on April 4,
1968, while in Memphis to support a
strike by city sanitation workers. He
also was conducting a nationwide

were to pull is similar to one used for
King’s funeral in Atlanta.
The Lorraine itself has become
something of a symbol of poverty. At
one time, the motel had about 60
rooms, but the decaying two-story
building had only 12 rooms in use

Swaggart speaks
amid controversy
over punishment
BATON ROUGE (AP) — Na
tional leaders of the Assemblies of
God took no action Monday regard
ing Jimmy Swaggart, following the
evangelist’s most emotional church
speech since stepping down from
the pulpit Feb. 21, a denomination
spokesman said.
Swaggart received a favorable re
sponse Sunday night from the crowd
at his Family Worship Center, but
officials of the Assemblies of God
said his appearances during Easter
services would have violated the
terms of a one-year ban on preach
ing it ordered last week.
Taking the microphone briefly

“It works! It works!,” he
shaking a Bible. “If there is a re
porter here, spread the word every
where. It works!”
The Rev. Everett Stenhouse, assis
tant general superintendent for the
Assemblies of God, said Swaggart’s
appearance would have violated the
one-year ban.
But because Swaggart has not
signed any agreement, he has not
submitted to the church’s rehabilita
tion program.
The church’s General Presbytery
last Tuesday banned Swaggart from
the pulpit for at least a year for
“moral failure.” A self-described
prostitute has said Swaggart paid
her to pose nude for him.

people than ever, the Census Bu
reau reported Monday.
The 90,031,000 households in
the United States averaged 2.64

“The reason is, in effect,
changes in the age structure,”
said Campbell Gibson, a popula
tion specialist for the bureau.
Most Americans born in the
post-World War II Baby Boom
are now in their 20s and 30s, ages
during which they are most likely
to set up households on their
own, he said.
The fact that many are doing
so boosted the number of house

to 88.8 million in 1986 and
