Martin Luther King Jr. speech, 1957
Martin Luther King Jr. speech, 1957
Sound recording
At Highlander's 25th anniversary celebration, Martin Luther King Jr. speaks on "The Look to the Future." He gives a summary of the history of race relations, talks about the Ku Klux Klan and White Citizens' Council opposing integration, and predicts the eventual triumph of desegregation through economic pressure, Supreme Court rulings, the activities of human relations agencies, the Christian church, and the determination of African-Americans to be recognized as equal. Transcriptions and captions may include errors. Researchers should always refer to the original recording before quoting this text.
