Does the background look familiar? This is Martin Luther King Jr. on Janss Steps when he spoke to assembed UCLA students, faculty, staff, and alumni almost 50 years ago.

The discovery comes at a perfect time as we will be celebrating his national holiday on Monday. To read more and listen to the audio, check out the UCLA Newsroom.
