Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaks on the importance of Black Radio

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaks to NATRA in Atlanta, Ga. in 1967

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addresses the National Association of Television and Radio Announcers (NATRA) conference in August of 1967 in Georgia.

King talks about the important role Black radio played in furthering the Civil Rights struggle. KGFJ's Magnificent Montague in Los Angeles, WDAS's Georgie Woods in Philadelphia, and WVON's Pervis Spann in Chicago were mentioned and thanked by Dr. King in the video above.

Many un-sung yet powerfully, meaningful, and inspirational MLK speeches - like the one above - have been hidden and downplayed.

King further tells you here about the truth of European settlers given free West and MidWest land from the US Government, while the freed slaves were left penniless, illiterate, famished, and segregated apart from society.

Listen.
