"A Tennessee man searching through his attic several months ago discovered a piece of American history: An audio reel of an unreleased interview with Dr. Martin Luther King conducted by his father for a book project that was never finished. (...) In clear audio, King discusses the importance of the civil rights movement, his definition of nonviolence and how a recent trip of his to Africa informed his views. (...) One historian said the newly discovered interview is unusual because there’s little audio of King discussing his activities in Africa. (...) During part of the interview, King defines nonviolence and justifies its practice. “I would … say that it is a method which seeks to secure a moral end through moral means,” he said. “And it grows out of the whole concept of love, because if one is truly nonviolent that person has a loving spirit, he refuses to inflict injury upon the opponent because he loves the opponent.” - Amira

"The interview was made four years before the Civil Rights Act became law, three years before King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, and eight years before his assassination. At one point in the interview, King predicts the impact of the civil rights movement. “I am convinced that when the history books are written in future years, historians will have to record this movement as one of the greatest epics of our heritage,” he said." http://www.jacksonsun.com/viewart... - Amira
