Dr. Martin Luther King's 'Lost' Speech at The National Press Club

In July 1962 Dr. martin Luther King, Jr. became the first African American to speak at the Club. An audio recording was made of the speech and filed away in the Club’s Archives and later transferred to the Library of Congress. No television footage of the speech in its entirety exists.
The Club's History and Heritage Committee recently retrieved the recording and found it is of significant historical value. Coming just days after Dr. King was released from jail in Albany, Ga., the civil rights leader outlined his vision for non-violent protest as the best way to achieve racial equality.
On Jan. 12, portions of the speech will be played and experts on the civil rights movement will add context and perspective to what Dr. King said. Press Club President John Hughes will unveil a permanent Club memorial to Dr. King's speech.

I've shared this awesome historical forum. Giving voice to the generally unknown historians to be heard. Excellent production indeed.

Being the shining Star is just one of the great attributes of this great man. I have no right to belittle the be all and the end all of such a man. I adore him.

As always MLK was the star, is the star and will always be the star in any conversation.

[@chriscurtis8344]

If “the star” concept is your only take away , you don’t have a CLUE . This is about the struggle. Not some shining star!

Who is the Gaul who has the gall to challenge the conscience of the millennials? Are you sure it is not an intergenerational racial issue?

That's good. National press club has done awesomely well. The life and works of Martin Luther king, should be shown and celebrate often, to keep his ideologys and encourage the future generations on speaking up when things re going wrong.
