Martin Luther King: Live Speech on Racial Discrimination
March 24, 1963
Martin Luther King Jr. leader of the civil rights movement

Martin Luther King Jr., prime mover of the Montgomery bus boycott, keynote speaker at the March on Washington, and youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, speaks about racial discrimination. Unquestionably, King's policy of nonviolent protest was a dominant force in the civil rights movement during its decade of greatest achievement from 1957 to 1968.
