The interfaith pacifist organization Fellowship of Reconicliation commissioned the Al Capp Studio to produce this comic. (Capp, the creator of the Li'l Abner newspaper strip, was a King supporter.) The comic was not distributed to newsstands. It was instead distributed to schools, churches, and civil rights groups.

John Lewis, one of the leaders of the landmark 1965 civil-rights march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, and who eventually became a U. S. Congressman, cited the comic as the inspiration for the three-volume graphic novel March, about the Selma demonstration, and produced in collaboration with scriptwriter Andrew Aydin and cartoonist Nate Powell.
