- I've heard, every now and then, on the local Pacifica radio station
- (WBAI), some of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s later speeches.
- They always seem to be available recorded only if you join as a
- member during the membership drive when they're being played, and
- since I already am a member of WBAI, this doesn't help. I'm
- particularly interested in one he gave in February or March 1968
- to members of Local 1199 (Drug & Hospital Workers Union) in New
- York City, in which he talks about, among other things, the Poor
- People's Campaign which he was then organizing. I heard parts of
- another one on Mon. 18 January on WBAI, although I missed the where/
- when of it. Does anyone know where I can find texts or recordings
- of these? They clearly show that Rev. Dr. King wasn't the vague
- dreamer of some sort of touchy-feely love-your-neighbor paradise
- that the established mass media portray him as, but rather that he
- had a deep and incisive critique of the American political and
- economic system and of American militarism and that he demanded
- radical changes.
-
- Please mail answers to me, since I don't get a chance to read news
- all that regularly. I'll summarize here if anyone asks me to.
- Thanks in advance.
