Verloren geglaubte Rede von Martin Luther King wieder aufgetaucht

Officials at Bethel College in Newton, Kan., on Monday will play a recording of a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that hasn’t been heard in half a century.

It’s the only recording of the speech that exists, and until recently, school officials thought it was lost for good.

[…]

„He kept repeating that we need to be maladjusted to our society; we can’t accept the status quo,“ Friesen says. „And he repeated that over and over again. I said I remember that, being a nonconformist. He had vigor about him, energy. He carried himself with a dignity, a sense of composure.“

In the speech, King tells the audience: „I never intend to adjust myself to the evils of segregation and discrimination. I never intend to become adjusted to religious bigotry.“
