A logo of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference: the lowercase letters "sclc" appear in black, but the "l"is red.

Next to the logo is a description in Britannica.com on the organization: Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) is an American advocacy organization “established by the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and other civil rights activists in 1957 to coordinate and assist local organizations working for the full equality of African Americans in all aspects of American life.”
