Martin Luther King Jr. 1961 Speech
The Rev. Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. gave in 1961 at the Temple Emanuel synagogue in Worcester, Mass. It was preserved in a cassette recording that was forgotten for many years. The recording was rediscovered in Las Cruces, remastered in 2017, and made available to our community radio station, KTAL-LP, for broadcast.
King spoke as the civil rights movement was picking up steam. It followed the successes of the Montgomery bus boycott, the lunch counter sit-ins, the Brown v. Board of Education decision, and shortly after, the inauguration of Pres. John F. Kennedy.
The challenge of racial injustice is still with us. Dr. King’s words still ring true today.
