The album’s acoustic setting invites focused listening, with King's voice carrying the weight of historic rallies alongside tracks such as \"We Shall Overcome,\" a song that became an anthem for the movement. This record holds a distinct place for those interested in the intersection of labor activism and civil rights, capturing King’s oratory within a small ensemble context rather than a large public address. This 1967 pressing presents the material on vinyl with a clean, glossy surface that shows only minor, light marks typical for its age, fitting the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG++\u003c\/a\u003e grade. Its straightforward format keeps the focus on King’s words, making it a meaningful addition for anyone drawn to spoken word or historical recordings on vinyl. While it’s not a flashy production, the clarity here serves the message well, proving that sometimes the most powerful statements don’t need a big band behind them—just a microphone and a cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Martin Luther King Jr. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Speaks To District 65 DWA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistrict 65 Convention - September 6th, 1962\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistrict 65 Madison Square Garden Meeting - October 23rd, 1963\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicago Labor Peace Assembly - November 11th, 1967\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashington Civil Rights March - August 28th, 1963\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Shall Overcome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG \/ 1967","offer_id":67776269222204,"sku":"DEN00001397","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/MS01OTg4LmpwZWc_3bebe4f2-fddc-48d3-a14a-e4d1d272dc16.jpg?v=1792535115"}],"url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/collections\/artist-dr-martin-luther-king-jr.oembed","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
