The photojournalist Lisl
Steiner, working for Keystone Press Agency, is covering the events with other
acclaimed photojournalists like Bob Adelman (Magnum), Erich Hartmann (Magnum),
Cornell Capa (Magnum), Constantin Manos (Magnum), Moneta Sleet (Ebony
Magazine), J.P. Laffont (Sygma), Don Hogan Charles (New York Times), Flip Schulke
(Life), Charles Tasnadi (AP), Mel Finkelstein (New York Daily News) etc.
Lisl is working with two
cameras:

2 ¼ x 2 ¼ 2.8f K7F Type 1 (made between
1960 and 1981) featuring a lower Zeiss Planar 80 mm f/2.8 taking lens with
Deckel Synchro-Compur MXV 60 sec to 1/500 sec plus B central shutter and an
upper Heidosmat 80 mm f/2.8 viewing lens) and
Leica M2
rangefinder camera given away to Lisl Steiner by the American photojournalist
Nat Fein in early sixties and with which she made vast majority of the pictures
of her the reportage on Martin Luther King Funeral in Atlanta (Georgia) on
April 9, 1968.

a Leica M2 with
Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 SAWOM and a Super Angulon-M 21 mm f/3.4.
This first programmed
funeral service for Martin Luther King is going to be officiated by his best
friend Ralph David Abernathy inside the Ebenezer Baptist Church (whose limited
capacity is 1,300) that within a few minutes will be utterly packed with many
of the country's political leaders, as well as a number of labor leaders,
foreign dignitaries, entertainment and sports figures and leaders from numerous
religious faiths.
And after this first
funeral service, everybody will take part in a massive three-mile procession
through Auburn Avenue, led by Martin Luther King´s casket loaded on a simple
wooden farm wagon drawn by two mules, that will start its march near the church
and will go to the Campus of Morehouse College (the one in which King had
studied and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Sociology in 1948, being only
19 years old), where the second funeral service for Martin Luther King is due
to be held at 14:00 h in the afternoon, and the procession will subsequently go
to the Atlanta South-View Cemetery (founded by former slaves in 1866) for his
interment.
Approximately 150,000
people (a very high figure for the time) are waiting outside the church and
across the 3 miles of the scheduled itinerary, wishing to accompany one of the
most important men of XX Century during the procession.
The heat is sweltering and
it´s very difficult to move in any direction.

Lisl Steiner´s eyes were
witnesses of Martin Luther King´s funeral, one of the most significant events
in the History of Photojournalism.
Lisl is now located
standing near the main door of the Ebenezer Baptist Church and has already seen
that Don Hogan Charles (photojournalist of New York Times) and Erich Hartmann
(Magnum) have managed to get places near the church main door on elevated
positions from which to take pictures.
The previous day she has
also taken some photographs from high spots, specially with her Leica M2 and
Super Angulon-M 21 mm f/3.4 of the long queues of people waiting to get inside
the church to see Martin Luther King in his coffin.
But conditions now on
April 9, 1968, with midday approaching, have become increasingly worse to make
photographs: the nearby area to the main door of the church is absolutely
overcrowded with thousands of mourners, since everybody pines for seeing
Coretta Scott King, King´s children and his comrades aides of the SCLC, and to
cap it all, there are some people raising Super 8 mm and 16 mm movie cameras
over their heads, trying to record King´s relatives, aides and famous
personalities entering the church.
In a context like this,
having a press accreditation doesn´t guarantee to be able to get near the
famous persons to take pictures whatsoever, since the areas around them are
jam-packed, and at the same time, the fear to a new racist attack renders to
approach as much as possible to the subjects (the short distances in which Lisl
likes to work, always trying to be at the right place at the right moment as
the key factor to capture representative moments) exceedingly difficult,
because the security men are specially active and often ward off any kind of
approximation or inadvertently cross in the photojournalists shooting
trajectories while doing their protective tasks.
Therefore, the stress is
maximum and Lisl realizes she must take a quick decision: either getting a
fixed position on an elevated point or among the huddled people, striving after
getting pictures the best she can.
It´s virtually impossible
to move in any direction, but she takes the riskiest choice: she will mingle
among the crowd, fighting to move at every moment and making a way for herself,
taking pictures from different spots and angles.
Suddenly, she sees in the
distance Robert Kennedy with his wife Ethel arriving at the Ebenezer Baptist
Church for the first funeral service. Both of them are heavily escorted by SCLC
members and some private security men. Many people are approaching them, which
slows down their march, so Lisl advances with strenuous effort towards them,
making her way through the throng, until she is almost at point blank range.
Only one of the SCLC
escorting members separates her from Robert Kennedy. It´s a delicate moment,
because everybody is exceedingly nervous, specially the men tackling security
missions. Lisl decides not to use her Leica raising the camera to her eyes, but
her medium format Rolleiflex and
© Lisl Steiner
shoots from her chest,
looking through the waist level finder and getting the picture, with Robert
Kennedy in the center of the frame and Ethel, behind him, on the right.
But now Lisl is more
enclosed among a sea of mourners. She can´t move. There are thousands of people
around her and not even an inch of ground is unoccupied, so it´s impossible for
her to have visual references of King´s friends or personalities who are
arriving now, with only fifteen minutes remaining for the beginning of the mass
in remembrance of MLK.
She needs to advance any
way to get an acceptable watching point.
Enhanced by the cramming
people, the heat is increasingly stifling. She sweats very much and gets
fidgety: the risk of not being able to get through the cluster of mourners is
apparent.
But she is stubborn. Meter
by meter, she manages to advance, striving after reaching a location from which
to identify personalities to get them pictures, and after fighting very much,
she attains it.
Now, she is watching
Jacqueline Kennedy, who is walking being escorted by two policemen and some
private security members wearing sunglasses behind her.
By dint of courage and
resolve, Lisl approaches progressively to them, once more opening a way for
herself through the multitude.
She´s now only a few
meters from Jacqueline Kennedy, but the policemen and security members don´t
allow anybody to approach.
Lisl realizes she must act
very fast and above all discreetly. She will only have a shot chance.
She´s at the moment at a
distance of approximately two meters from Jackie, and analyses the context: the
security men behind Jacqueline are greatly concealed by the bodies of the two uniformed
policemen protecting her, Jacqueline looks deep in thought and nervous, with
her tongue half outside her lips, the woman behind her is looking at her right,
a white priest wearing white collar is also walking absent-minded, the
uniformed policeman on the left has got an instant of distraction while keeping
tabs on Jackie, and the policeman on the right has momentarily his both eyes
closed because of the fatigue, stress and sweat.

It´s now when Lisl presses
the release button of the Compur between lens leaf shutter of her medium format
2 ¼ x 2 ¼ Rolleiflex and gets the picture, amazingly capturing them all utterly
unaware, to such an extent that none of them are looking at the camera.

Lisl Steiner
A few seconds later she
manages to photograph Mahalia Jackson, who has just arrived at the funeral. She
is being escorted by one of the security members and is surrounded by some
photographers and a great multitude overcrowding the place.
Once again, she is
enclosed within the great crowd massed outside the Ebenezer Baptist Church of
Atlanta (Georgia). She can´t move and everybody craves specially for seeing
Martin Luther King´s most significant aides through years, belonging to the
SCLC.
Lisl is now at a distance
of around one hundred meters from the main door of Ebenezer Baptist Church and
knows that the most important images for her assignment are the ones of Martin
Luther King´s prominent aides and great friends: Ralph Abernathy, Andrew Young,
James Farmer, Jesse Jackson, Bernard Lee, James Orange, B. Clarence Mayfield,
Thomas Kilgore, Fred Shuttleworth and others.
Expectation is reaching a
climax and Ralph Abernathy, who must officiate the mass, hasn´t arrived yet.
A few more minutes go by.
The heat is unbearable and from time to time there are some unavoidable moments
of hassle among the persons near the church, because everybody wants to watch
events.
Suddenly, Lisl sees in the
distance Ralph David Abernathy (King´s best friend and his successor), James
Farmer - principal founder of the Congress for Racial Equality who played a
towering role in the civil rights movement as a direct action leader- who goes
by Abernathy, on his left, in the usual place of Andrew Young, King´s second
chief deputy and another prominent member of the Civil Rights Movement, who for
security reasons is going apart escorted by a policeman), Thomas Kilgore ( an
important man of the SCLC in the South and on both coasts, key organizer of the
Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom to Washington in 1957 and the Civil Rights March
on Washington of 1963, who is walking by Abernathy, on his right), B. Clarence
Mayfield (Civil Rights Leader in Savannah during late fifties and sixties, who
joined King´s SCLC and became a great friend of his), Fred Shuttleworth (one of
the founders of the SCLC with Abernathy, Bayard Rustin and MLK, and the key man
of the human rights movement in Alabama during late fifties and sixties) and
other men of Martin Luther King´s inner circle walking towards the Ebenezer
Church.
Bright-line
frames (each one seen separately in the viewfinder, since the frames are
modified automatically on changing the lenses or using the preview lever) of
the Leica M2, the rangefinder camera used by Lisl Steiner to get the pictures
of Martin Luther King´s great friends and aides during the funeral of the human
rights leader on April 9, 1968 in Atlanta (Georgia). Taking advantage of the
new specific bright-line for 35 mm lenses (a missing feature in the Leica M3)
using her 8 elements in 6 groups Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 SAWOM objective (a
symmetrical Double-Gauss designed by Walter Mandler in the factory Ernst Leitz
Canada of Midland, Ontario), she was able to capture highly defining moments of
the day from a very short distance, in an exceedingly discreet and silent way,
photographing with remarkable quickness.

Once again, she is bound
to change her position and veer, trying to reach Abernathy´s group before
they´re too close to the main door of the church, where it would be nearly
impossible to get pictures, since it is fully packed.
Advancing with great
difficulties through the crowd, her march is inevitably rather plodding and she
is afraid that perhaps she won´t be able to arrive in time to make photographs
of Abernathy and his entourage made up by others King´s great friends and aides
of the SCLC.
Once more, Lisl has to
take decisions. She notices that hundreds of volunteer members of the SCLC and
some policemen have set up a security path through which King´s woman and
children, rest of relatives, his most significant aides and the famous guests
will walk up to the church.
There´s the great fear of
a new racist assassination attempt on King´s relatives, Abernathy or any other
of King´s aides.
Lisl has been in this area
for two days and nights, so she knows the place, and decides to wait standing
on the nearest area of Auburn Avenue giving to the main door of Ebenezer
Baptist Church.
Two big security men are
just in front of Lisl at the moment, and they prevent anybody from approaching
more.
Ralph David Abernathy and
his entourage go on advancing. There´s a sepulchral silence and thousands of
people are crying.
In very few seconds Lisl
Steiner will have them around five meters in front of her.
Now, the two security
members abandon a bit their positions and advance in the direction of
Abernathy, Thomas Kilgore, James Farmer, B. Clarence Mayfield, Fred
Shuttlesworth and the rest of SCLC men to protect them as much as possible from
anybody trying to approach or any kind of attack with gun. Stress is very high.
Both security members are with their hips towards King´s friends and paying
uttermost attention to their flanks, so a momentaneous gap is generated between
both of them.
The context is now also
very delicate. Both security members are very nervious. Lisl realizes she will
just have a one shot chance and will have to make things with utmost speed and
discretion.
Therefore, she advances as
much as she can to the limit (being very careful not to go beyond the two
security men) and this time she won´t use her medium format 2 ¼ x 2 ¼
Rolleiflex, but her rangefinder Leica M2 ( a great and very versatile
photojournalistic tool for the capture of this kind of image with its 0.72x
magnification and framelines for 35, 50 or 90 mm lenses) with Summicron-M 35 mm
f/2,
Finder eyepiece
of Lisl Steiner´s Leica M2 featuring a 0.72x rangefinder calculated by Willi
Keiner (and which also had some design concepts provided by Heinrich Schneider)
optimized for the par excellence photojournalistic 35 mm wideangle lens, whose
brightline frame appears permanently within the viewfinder as standard, with
the convenience it means, unlike the somewhat clumsiness of the Summaron 35 mm
f/3.5 and Summaron 35 mm f/2.8 with the Leica M3, which require a spectacles
viewfinder attachment converting the field of view of the 50 mm bright-line VF
frame for which the M3 is optimized into the correct field of view for the 35
mm field, enabling accurate framing.

Lisl Steiner´s
Leica M2 combined rangefinder and viewfinder system: from left to right, window
of the RF, striated illuminating window for finder frames (rendering an
extremely even overall illumination, particularly outstanding for wideangle
viewing) and window of the viewfinder. The 0.91x VF magnification of the Leica
M3 was reduced to 0.72x in the Leica M2 to make the 35 mm viewfinder feasible.
© Leica Camera AG
the best possible binomial
fostered by the optical computations of this camera RF calculated by Willi
Klein, who managed to add a bright-line frame for 35 mm wideangle lenses which
the Leica M3 lacked.
Concentration is maximum,
since this is a defining moment, a concept Lisl has heard explain many times to
the great Alfred Eisenstaedt, with whom she has worked inside United Nations
building in New York for some years.
The small space around the
35 mm lens brightline frame of her Leica M2 enables Lisl to see what is
happening immediately outside the boundaries of the image on the left and on
the right, a key factor in this photograph, because the two security men might
move at any moment and conceal Ralph David Abernathy, Thomas Kilgore, James
Farmer, Fred Shuttleworth, B. Clarence Mayfield and the rest of King´s aides
and friends, so she fastly presses the release button of the rubberized cloth
shutter of her mirrorless rangefinder camera, which renders an exceedingly
whispering low noise sound, virtually imperceptible and decisive to preserve
the discretion.

Lisl Steiner has been
successful taking them all (Thomas Kilgore, Ralph Abernathy and James Farmer in
the middle of the picture, while Fred Shuttlesworth appears behind Abernathy´s
left shoulder, and B. Clarence Mayfield behind the right area of James Farmer´s
face) by surprise, to such an extent that none of the ten aides of Martin
Luther King are looking at the photographer and they haven´t detected at all
either the presence of Lisl or her Leica M2. And the same has happened with the
two security members, fully unaware about what has just happened.
Needless to say that the
absence of blackout of the image due to the lack of a tilting mirror (what
enables the photographer to see the subjects at every moment) and the
staggeringly short 11 milliseconds shutter lag of the Leica M2 has also been of
invaluable help in terms of quickness shooting.
Very few minutes later,
the first funeral service for Martin Luther King, officiated by Ralph
Abernathy, begins inside the Ebenezer Baptist Church and will last for an hour.
Meanwhile, vast majority
of the photojournalists covering the event wait outside, located in the
surroundings of the main door of the church, because the coming out of Martin
Luther King´s coffin taken handheld by some of his great friends and aides up
to the wooden farm wagon drawn by two mules on which it will be laid, will be
one of the most significant moments of the day.
At 11:40 h, vast majority
of personalities attending King´s funeral have already gone out of the Ebenezer
Baptist Church and have walked from the church main door to the beginning of
the procession which will be led by the mules drawn rickety farm wagon with
King´s coffin on it up to the Morehouse College.
Everywhere is overcrowded
by thousands of mourners, while inside the church Martin Luther King´s most
significant aides and some men of the Marcellous Thornton and Hanley Bell
Street funeral firms are arranging King´s bier to begin taking it handheld out
of the building towards Auburn Avenue.
At last, at around 11:45
h, Lisl sees in the distance the casket of Martin Luther King which is getting
out of the church, being taken handheld by Jesse Jackson, James Orange, other
also prominent leaders of the SCLC (all of them great friends of Martin Luther
King) and some members of the Board of Deacons of the Ebenezer Baptist Church.
The atmosphere of the
place and its surroundings becomes awesome and a total silence, even more
apparent than before, reigns supreme around King´s coffin and the nearby areas
overcrowded with people weeping tearfully.
Thousands and thousands of
persons try to approach as much as possible to see the bier, so the policemen
and security members of the SCLC become inevitably more strict in thwarting any
attempt of getting closer.
Now, the area of Auburn
Avenue beside the Ebenezer Baptist Church is wholly full of security members.
Kodak Tri-X Pan 400, the 35 mm film used by
vast majority of photojournalist covering Martin Luther King´s Funeral on April
9, 1968 in Atlanta (Georgia). Its very high sensitivity for the time, wide
exposure latitude enabling to tackle the most challenging lighting situations,
outstanding acutance, unique grain structure attaining a great level of realism
and dramatism matching each subject and versatility turned it into a top-notch
all-around performer chosen by a lot of pros for action reportages.

Lisl Steiner is at the
moment located standing near the main door of Ebenezer Baptist Church and has
already seen that Don Hogan Charles (New York Times) and Erich Hartmann
(Magnum) have managed to get places in the proximity of the church main door,
on elevated positions from which to take pictures.
A sea of people fills
every inch of the place and its surroundings, even more than during the
previous hours, because the moment when Martin Luther King´s casket will go out
of the church is approaching.
On the other hand, the
persons who were by the main door one hour before with 16 mm and Super 8 mm
movie cameras, are still fixed in their positions and will raise again their
cinematographic equipment over their heads from the very moment King´s bier
starts crossing the church door outwards to record the moment.
Lisl realizes that it will
be impossible to capture King´s aides taking his coffin from the same spot she
made the picture of Abernathy, Kilgore, James Farmer, B. Clarence Mayfield, Fred
Shuttlesworth and others group roughly one hour ago while they walked towards
the church, so she takes the most undaunted decision of the day to stay true to
her photographing style: to walk backwards making a way for herself among the
crowd, to get a new location approximately 25 meters behind, near the wooden
farm wagon pulled by two mules which is already waiting with Hosea Williams
(who will walk clad in overalls in front of King´s casket and the mules),
Bernard Lee (King´s personal assistant and travelling companion through
sixties, who will also walk in front of the very humble hearse) and Albert
Turner (Alabama´s SCLC Director who will hold the animals´ reins) next to it.
James Orange and Jesse
Jackson go on advancing, grabbing the front handles of Martin Luther King´s
bier, while the rest of active pallbearers (Milton Cornelius, Jethro English,
Arthur Henderson, Howard Dowdy, C.K.Steele, Fred Shuttleworth and Fred C.
Bennette) go behind them grabbing the middle and back handles.
Once more, Lisl fights to
her utmost to arrive in time at the place she has visually chosen, located at a
short distance from the green wooden farm wagon drawn by two mules on which
King´s casket will be put.
She is now sweating
profusely, since the heat has reached its peak, emotions are running very high
and everybody is restless, so she must be very careful not to turn anybody on
edge while she endeavors to reach the location from which she will try to
photograph the pallbearers taking Martin Luther King´s coffin.
Finally, after plenty of
suffering and tension, she manages to reach by the skin of her teeth the spot
she has chosen in advance.
But Martin Luther King´s
casket is now very near, at a distance of around ten meters, with the very tall
and sturdy James Orange holding part of its front handle with his left hand
while Jesse Jackson is doing the same with his right hand.
The rest of pallbearers
are behind them, barely visible because they´re mostly covered by the bodies of
Orange, Jackson and a very tall security man of the SCLC who advances next to
Jackson and whose mission is to prevent anybody from approaching to the
pallbearers, a task shared by the younger security man visible behind James
Orange´s right arm, who because of the great stress and heat has loosened both
his tie and the top button of his shirt.
After very few seconds,
Lisl is already very near them, almost at point blank range, and once more she
is aware that only a shot will be possible.
Her attention is maximum
and suddenly, there´s an instant in which Jesse Jackson has got his eyes
oriented towards the other side of Auburn Avenue, with a lost gaze and highly
distressed (he was with Martin Luther King, Ralph Abernathy and Hosea Williams
on the second floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, when
King was slain by a bullet shot by a racist assassin* with a 30-06 Springfield
rifle on April 4, 1968), the tall security man by him has got his eyes
momentarily closed because of the tension and sweat, the even much taller and
bulkier security man nearest Lisl and wearing a dark cap is looking at the
coffin, a very sorrowful James Orange has got his head low, and the other
younger security man (sweating very much and rather tired) has his left eye
close for a little while and his right one about to close, and the two pall
bearers behind James Orange are looking at the right.
Martin Luther King´s
coffin being taken handheld by Jesse Jackson, James Orange and other
pallbearers towards the wooden wagon drawn by two mules the day of King´s
funeral
Now is the moment in which
Lisl Steiner presses the release button of the rubberized cloth shutter of her
24 x 36 mm format rangefinder mirrorless Leica M2 camera connected to a
Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 SAWOM and gets the picture, a great photojournalistic
document oozing drama and a defining moment enhanced by the presence of a
mourner on a wheelchair on far left of the image and a futher very upset young
mourner (fourth from the left, who can be hardly glimpsed and clearly with his
head down in affliction.

13" x 18 " copy of the picture she got of Martin Luther King´s coffin

unforgettable leader of human rights, one of the greatest men in history.

Original New York Daily
News from April 10, 1968 with cover photography showing the terrible scene of
the interment of Martin Luther King in the South-View Cemetery of Atlanta
(Georgia) at 17:19 h in the afternoon of the previous day. It has been preserved
by Lisl Steiner for almost half a century. Ralph Abernathy (on far left of the
image), is crying a river, while Hosea Williams, Fred Shuttleworth, Jesse
Jackson, and other SCLC aides and friends of King begin burying his coffin. The
very tall and burly James Orange (another of MLK´s great friends and aides) is
standing behind Jesse Jackson, also weeping.

Note : Though the
widespread statement is that Martin Luther King´s assassin was James Earl Ray,
the most updated researches indicate that he might not have been the man who
pulled the trigger of the 30-06 Springfield caliber rifle which slew him.
Even, Dexter King, the
second son of the legendary civil right leader, had the chance of talking to
James Earl Ray in prison in 1997, and both him and the rest of Martin Luther
King´s family have expressed different times their conviction that James Earl
Ray wasn´t the man who killed him.
On the other hand, deep
studies carried out throughout decades till now by experts in gesture language,
voice pitch, facial expressions and specific vocabulary used, have reached the
unanimous conclusion that when this great man delivered his last speech in
Memphis on April 3, 1968, he had a hunch that he would be assassinated very
soon.
