About This Lesson
In this lesson, students screen and discuss archival footage of a 1967 speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Stanford University. Thanks to generous funding from AFSCME, the lesson is one of many in “Portraits of America: Democracy on Film,” a free cinema literacy curriculum using classic films to explore ideals and challenges of immigration, labor, and civil rights. All materials available free of charge at http://storyofmovies.org.
