A senior african-american couple recall their experience of hearing Martin Luther King Jr. speak the night before his assasination. It is a simple and moving accountting of an historical moment.
Play this on April 3rd, the anniversary of Dr King's death.
Just drop it into the two minute newshole during the morning or evening drive. It will speak for itself and will also provide a slightly different POV on the last hours of this american icon.
