BBC Newcastle - Martin Luther King in Newcastle 1 of 8

Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech is known, and quoted, around the world, but few people know about the speech he gave in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1967 - after being given an honorary doctorate by the University. BBC Newcastle broadcast long-lost footage from that speech shortly after it was discovered - and we thought it deserved a wider audience. Hear what happened when our reporter Murphy Cobbing took the King's Speech to the US and played it to Americans at the Lincoln Memorial and the Martin Luther King Statue in Washington DC. #MLK
