Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In January 1970, Studs Terkel created It’s Like a Dream to Me, a birthday tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968). Containing music, voices of citizens, and Studs Terkel’s own interview with the civil rights leader, this mosaic hour portrays a snapshot of an important moment in our nation’s story. Please be advised that in addition to the hope, optimism, and struggles of the Civil Rights Movement, this historical program includes some strong language of an offensive nature which conveys the harsh reality of the time and place.
