Dr Martin Luther King

I covered the Civil Rights March in Washington, DC for the Antioch College paper, made easier because authorized credentials were issued by a man whose daughter was a classmate. Our reporting team had complete access to everyone and everything, including a pre-event party of the leadership where we found Dr King and Malcolm X in private conversation.
