Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28th, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered one of the most famous speeches of all time. But it nearly didn’t happen. On this special MLK Day edition of Making Contact, Gary Younge, author of The Speech, talks about King’s dream and the story behind it.
Special thanks to the New School for use of their recording.
