The excerpts from the speeches of Dr. King were from CD "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: In Search Of Freedom."  Thanks to Clint Harding, the Voice of Saturday Morning, host of Blue Highways on KDHX, for kindly allowing me to use this CD from his collection. A great deal of the music played on this tribute program is on the Smithsonian Folkways CD collection "Voices Of The Civil Rights Movement: Black American Freedom Songs, 1960-1966."
