Martin Luther King Speaks to NATRA (full speech-August 1967)

This is the full speech, a rare find of Dr King addressing the National Association of TV and Radio Announcers (NATRA).. here King talks about the important role Black radio played in furthering the Civil Rights struggle.. He also drops gems that many associate with his famous Transforming a Neighborhood Into a Brotherhood speech.. This is the Dr King that has been hidden from us and downplayed..He's on point with both his analysis and spirit.. He talks about how white folks were given free land when they moved out west while the sons and daughters of slaves were left penniless via Jim Crow laws and other forms of discrimination thus putting us far behind.. This is an incredible speech..

Dr King was an awesome speaker on every avenue. I listen to his speeches to keep myself in touch with where I've come from. Dr King sermons are also powerful in spirit

God bless you Dr. King. Thank you for giving your life for Black people, and for mankind.

I know this is SO obvious...
But I wish he was still alive. His voice is so powerful.

This speech is powerfully true and so realistic even according to today's socio-politicaland economic standing.

Even though Dr. King himself is dead, young people can learn from his words and follow his example.

18:00 without land freedom wasn't meaningful

I hope Jim Clyburn heard this speech. It describes him perfectly.

[@09AshleyMi]

Sounds like half the speech is missing. He started talking about the triple evils, but in the recording he only mentions racism.

Note, his only known comment on The Beatles at the 7 minute mark. Paul McCartney and co. would get a big kick out of this.
