NOTES

Originally produced as a motion picture in 1970, copyright by Martin Luther King Film Project

"King documents the life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his non-violent campaign for racial equality and justice from 1955-1968. Nothing is contrived and there is no narration, only the stirring words of Dr. King's memorable sermons and speeches. The film is history, unvarnished and unretouched, as recorded by newsreel and television camera of the period ... The live action sequences are linked by a series of short dramatic readings"--Container

Special features include producer's notes, Legacy of a dream (24 min.), dramatic readings; critical acclaim

Editors, John Carter, Lora Hays; associate producer, Ricahard Kaplan

Readings by Harry Belafonte, Ruby Dee, Ben Gazzara, Charlton Heston, James Earl Jones, Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman, Anthony Quinn, Clarence Williams III, Joanne Woodward
