“Dr. King to Lead Fall Pilgrimage to the Holy Land,” the New York Times reported on May 15, 1967. (When will the Times stop calling Israel the Holy Land?) Martin Luther King, Jr. had announced the previous day his intention to have the pilgrimage in the fall, with two main stops, one, to be held on Nov 14 on the Mount of Olives in the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem, the other, two days later, in a gathering on the Galilee. Of course, by May 15, 1967, it was very late in the day to be speaking of the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem. In less than three weeks, conquered by Israel, it would be no more. The Six Day War ended King’s thoughts of a Middle East pilgrimage.
