Posted Apr 4, 2018
Today marks 50 years since the death of Martin Luther King Jr. In honor of the late civil rights leader, we reflect on the time that King spoke at the University of North Carolina in 1960. Invited to the University by campus religious organizations and the Carolina Forum, King's visit occurred just as the fight for equality began gaining momentum in the community.
