Biographical Note
Jack O'Dell's involvement with SCLC began in 1961, and he quickly became director of the New York Office in charge of fundraising. However, as FBI surveillance of Dr. Martin Luther King and SCLC increased, O'Dell's former ties to the Communist Party became a liability for the organization and he left in 1963. During the Charleston, South Carolina campaign in 1969, O'Dell rejoined the staff and became Acting Executive Director of SCLC in 1970. During this time, he was also an active contributor to and editor of Freedomways.
