The community story that inspired Eudora…
A few months before his assassination, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. visited Marks, Mississippi and spoke at the Eudora African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church to rally support for the Christian Leadership Conference’s “Poor People’s Campaign.” This nationwide march to Washington, D.C. in the spring of 1968 raised awareness of economic disparity and persistent poverty, which was so evident in the Mississippi Delta. The Eudora Church also provided meeting space and hot meals for Freedom Riders and PPC organizers.
