牧师. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at 曼彻斯特 on Feb. 1, 1968
NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. ——二月. 1968年1月1日，牧师. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to an overflow audience at the tiny campus of what was then 曼彻斯特 College in rural Indiana.
保安很严密. 局势高度紧张. They were turbulent times for a divided nation grappling with race relations, social and economic inequality, and the entanglements of a protracted military conflict. What no one would have predicted was that this was to be King’s last campus address before he was slain.
Each year, the northeast Indiana school brings in a speaker for the MLK Remembrance & Rededication Ceremony.
