Share

on Today’s Radioactivity, we listen to a rarely aired speech by Martin Luther King Jr. from Antioch College’s commencement ceremony in 1965. The speech is part of a documentary from public radio station WYSO in Yellow Springs,Ohio, and marks one of the first times MLK publicly comes out against the Vietnam war.
