The group’s national chairman at the time, Claud Young, sent a June 25 letter to King that read, “You have consistently been insubordinate and displayed inappropriate, obstinate behavior in the (negligent) carrying out of your duties as president of SCLC.” King was reinstated only one week later after promising to take a more active role. Young said of the suspension, “I felt we had to use a two-by-four to get his attention. Well, it got his attention all right.” After he was reinstated, King prepared a four- year plan outlining a stronger direction for the organization, agreeing to dismiss McMorris and announcing plans to present a strong challenge to the Bush administration in an August convention in Montgomery, Alabama. In a rally on August 5, 2001, in Montgomery, SCLC leaders, including Rev. Joseph Lowery, former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young and Rev. Jesse Jackson all pledged their support for King. “I sit beside my successor, to assure him of my love and support,” said Rev. Lowery.
