February is Black History Month. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday was in January. Around this time, we often see his quotes circulate on social media. And we also hear about his legacy as an activist and a minister, and his fight for civil rights in the U.S.
Today, we’re going to listen back to a recent interview with Clarence B. Jones. He served as personal counsel to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was also his speech writer and personal friend.
John Henry Smith spoke with him earlier this year about his work in the civil rights movement and we’ll hear about his thoughts of where civil rights is today.
