there WERE lots of "I AM A MAN" signs at BOTH the picket-line AND at the MARCH.

Actually the march in which Rev. King participated was more or less in the middle of the strike, on March 28. It's interesting that you describe it as a "glorious day," since the march devolved into violence, with window breaking, riot police, tear gas, 280 arrests, and a 16 year old boy shot to death by police. Rev. King was hustled away from the scene. The disaster of that march led to King's decision to cancel his planned trip to Africa and return to Memphis on April 3, when he gave the "Mountaintop" speech. The next day he was assassinated.
