MLK Oral History

Wow, thank you to WNYC Archives for digitizing and making available this incredible interview with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"On November 22, 1961 a radio reporter named Eleanor Fischer interviewed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Atlanta. She was producing a documentary series on Dr. King and that southern city for the CBC called Project 62. She spoke to him again in late 1966 and early 1967. Fischer's raw interviews were given to the New York Public Radio Archives by her estate after she died in 2008 at the age of 73. As far as we know, these unedited interviews have never been presented in their entirety until now."
