The eighty-nine indicated boycott leaders and their friends who walked to the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church for a special prayer service. For this purpose, King Martin Luther, the leader in the communal rights movement offered a new hymn for this occasion, set to the tune of Old Time Religion. After the singing of the hymn, the meeting was thrown open to "Quaker-style" prayers and those who responded also indicated in their speech and manner the blend of the old and the new. Furthermore, Reverend King, the president of the organization coordinating boycott strategy, also contributed a prayer.
