Rare recording of Martin Luther King Jr. talking about John F. Kennedy released
A previously unheard recording of Martin Luther King Jr. discussing
John F. Kennedy will be played Monday in the place where the civil rights
leader was assassinated.
King's comments are on a 53-year-old reel-to-reel tape
discovered in a Tennessee
attic several years ago. But the last several minutes are only now being made
public.

The civil rights leader is heard discussing Kennedy's role
in securing his release from a Georgia
prison after he was sentenced to four months of hard labor for a traffic
violation two weeks before the election that sent Kennedy to the White House.
