Around 2,000 people gathered to hear Martin Luther King Jr. give a 1963 speech at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. The civil rights leader talked about subjects including school segregation (still the policy of local school districts at the time), nonviolence, and nuclear disarmament.
A recording of the speech was missing for nearly 30 years, but has been recovered and is now housed at WMU’s Zhang Legacy Collections Center.
The Western Herald published a video on the recording and its rediscovery last year.
