Martin Luther King 1966 North Carolina Speech Promotional Pin

This scarce 3 ½-inch celluloid was made to promote a speech made by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the William Neal Reynolds Coliseum at North Carolina State University on July 31, 1966. King's speech was attended by 5,000 people and drew a protest march in downtown Raleigh from the Ku Klux Klan. First time we've offered this pin, slight color fade.
