I
attach too much significance to the fact that -- because he was
immobilized by this vicious assault -- the Youth March marked the first
time that his wife, Coretta, --stood in-- for him and that it was
Coretta King and Ella Baker who set up a temporary movement office
inside Harlem Hospital during Dr. King's recovery.
It was shortly after this that Reverend King was quoted as saying, --I
don't want to own any property. I don't need any property. I don't need
a house. A man who devotes himself to a cause, who dedicates himself to
a cause doesn't need a family.--
Very unusual for a husband to even allow himself to think, let alone say
out loud.
Of course (no great surprise) he got a house. And then a bigger house.
Stanley Levison was quoted as saying:
The house troubled him greatly. When he moved from a very small house to
one that was large enough to give the growing family some room, he was
troubled by it and would ask all of his close friends when they came to
the house whether they didn't think it was too big and it wasn't right
for him to have. And though everyone tried to tell him that this big
house wasn't as big as he thought it was -- it was a very modest little
house -- to him it loomed as large as a mansion and he searched his own
mind for ways of making it smaller.
Meanwhile, back at Ella Baker:
