Black History in 2 Minutes by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Monument sculpture of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. features his upper body, arms crossed over his chest with a rolled document in his left hand.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Dr. King spoke about cultural and economic conditions in the 1860s  and the present-day legacy in a rare film clip of a 1967 news interview.

“The other thing is that the color became a stigma. American society made … color a stigma.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is a blunt, concise, and powerful summary of facts missing from many modern history books. Facts that point to the roots of racial profiling.
