On March 28, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. appeared on NBC's Meet The Press.

One week after leading his historic five-day march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, King said that the demonstration was necessary not just to help push the Voting Rights Bill through, but to draw attention to the humiliating conditions in Alabama such as police brutality and racially-motivated murder.

    Dr. King's poise, calm but assertive demeanor and courage made them listen. His unwavering fortitude, conviction of character and his vision for America made him a Legend!

    Beautiful. That N-word is a disgrace and causes nothing but harm. I'll be happy when it is finally shutdown.

    that doesn't really say much. have you seen how he's been portrayed by the right wing.

    again i agree, the days of hood wearing white supremacists lynching black folks are gone. however vicious racism is still present, its just more subtle and institutional rather than outright violence.
