BBC Newcastle - Martin Luther King in Newcastle 5 of 8
Share
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. Our reporter Murphy Cobbing has already played it to a radio talk-show host, a senior Washington Diplomat and the Mayor of Atlanta - But now it's time to take it into King's back yard, where she bumped into Martin Luther King’s sister at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
