Martin Luther King Jr.
SEVENstride toward critical acclaim THE NEW YORKERS King encountered on September 15, 1958, upon arriving in the city were eager to embrace the nascent civil rights movement. As he traveled the city, King would be greeted by predominantly Negro crowds ready to denounce his recent arrest in Montgomery, ready to support the integration of public schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, ready to grant points to gubernatorial opponents Averell Harriman and Nelson Rockefeller for taki...ng positions in support of the movement as they squared off against each other. Caucasian New Yorkers, on the other hand, were less enthusiastic, yet not hostile. For the most part they paid lip service to the notion that Negroes were true equals. Outside of the Deep South, where de facto rather than de jure segregation was the rule, even among liberal Caucasians, slow, primarily symbolic progress was as far as they were willing to take things. Most residents, for example, were just getting used to the type of progress made by New York—based Mohawk Airlines in hiring the first Negro flight attendant in the entire airline industry to serve passengers on its DC-3 flights from New York City to Buffalo.
