Nearly five decades after leaving Atlanta the news of his death across the world in Ghana caused the 250000 Americans gathered at the 1963 March on Washington to grow suddenly silenta ""moment almost cinematic in its poignancy""as Roy Wilkins declared: ""his was the voice calling you to gather today in this cause"" Levering Lewis 162 2.
