The strike brought Martin Luther King Jr. to town and marked significant change in the city of Memphis.
Five men that were on the front lines of the strike — Rev. Leslie Moore, Elmore Nickleberry, Ozell Ueal,Baxter Leach and H.B. Crockett — recall how the strike started, MLK's role, and what their legacy is as the 50th anniversary of King's death approaches.
