MLK Flashpoints special..this broadcast is based on original speeches recorded by an amateur recordist, (never aired anywhere before i found them) who ended up at the poor people march, as a body guard for King, who was under threat of death….the story of how these recording were made is amazing….after i unearthed them, and initially broadcast some of them, i contributed them to the King Archive at Stanford, where they were grateful, gobbled them up and made them apart of their special MLK sound archive.
