Coretta discussed requests she had received for
- appearances: and Levison stated that she would receive many:
requests. but. that. she will have to be selective and turn |
many down. He counselled that she should adopt the position
that, for the present, she feels that activity in King's
behalf has to be toward his memorial and that it would not:
- serve anyone if her name is used by everyone. He added that
this says she is using her name in the area she knows would
be closest to King, his family and his organization. . He |
said it is important in preserving the strength of a name -
that it not be overused.
Finally, Levison asked if Coretta wanted him to
_ contact Dave Dellinger. She stated that he should call
Dellinger and point out that her exposure must be Limited
- and that she must be protected because she is only doing |
the things she feels very strongly about, that is, those
things that are related to the work of her husband.
