Martin Luther King Day

In 1986, a U.S. national holiday was established in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., which is called Martin Luther King Day. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King's birthday, 15th January 1929.

For more information the following link will take you to The King Center where you can read more about the great man by written by his wife Coretta Scott King.

To commemorate this day I have added a new series to RUSC called Destination Freedom. This is what John Dunning says about the series:

"Though it never appeared on a national network, it was one of the most powerful and important shows of its day. It was a striking achievement, a voice whose passion and courage overcame every budgetary shortcoming to become perhaps the strongest plea for Negro rights ever heard on American Radio".

Happy listening my friends,
