MLK Imaging Project Comes to Delaware

freemusicarchive.org

Valuable images from the life of Martin Luther King Junior are coming to Delaware State University as part of the King Center Imaging Project.

It includes more than 200-thousand facsimiles of a number of the civil rights leader’s papers.

One was written fifty years ago in April – a letter by King from a Birmingham jail cell in Alabama after he led a non-violent demonstration against racial discrimination.

Computer terminals will provide access to the online archive of digitized letter, photographs, sermons and articles from King’s life.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that the display will be open at DSU’s Martin Luther King Junior Student center from 11 am to 8 pm through Friday.

Next week, JP Morgan will take the exhibit to the University of Delaware before moving on to other institutions around the country.
