Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at SMU
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke to a standing-room-only audience in SMU's McFarlin Auditorium on March 17, 1966.
The letter of invitation was sent to Dr. King by then-SMU Student Senate Vice President Bert Moore on behalf of the Student Senate. Moore, a theology student, had traveled to Montgomery, Ala., to participate in a civil rights march with Dr. King. He was introduced to the crowd by Students' Association Academic Committee Chair Charles Cox.
