Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Martin Luther King, Jr was and still is one of the greatest heroes of the world. Sadly his dream has not yet come true. I hope and pray that someday in my lifetime it will. I am 70 so there is not a lot of time for the world to wake up and show me that civilization can become civilized.
In a Democracy Now! and Pacifica Radio Archives exclusive, we air a newly discovered recording of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On December 7, 1964, days before he received the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, King gave a major address in London on segregation, the fight for civil rights and his support for Nelson Mandela and the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. The speech was recorded by Saul Bernstein, who was working as the European correspondent for Pacifica Radio. Bernstein’s recording was recently discovered by Brian DeShazor, director of the Pacifica Radio Archives.
