“The nation needs a movement. And the questions

“The nation needs a movement. And the questions we argue about, violence and non-violence, will be dealt with in a demonstration. . . . “ — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Speaking to the SCLC Board in 1968

This speech was given at a planning meeting for the last of his great protest movements: the Poor People’s Campaign. The audience was a large group of leaders and staff of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference which he had founded and led for ten years as his primary vehicle for activism. In the recording from this meeting we can hear shouts of affirmation and rueful laughter from the audience.

The stakes were high. The Poor People’s Campaign would soon be publicized and launched, but the group was still debating its tactics and list of demands. King told the Atlanta Constitution on January 17, 1968, that an “idea task force” was presently preparing demands for Congress, adding that “we’re trying to provide an alternative to the long hot summer.”

Listen to clips from the meeting at the link in our bio.
