Martin Luther King (U.S. Dept of State)The Preacher's Cadence
The landmark speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr. have inspired countless musical tributes, including songs that capture the rhythm of his speech. Hear some examples today on Soundcheck, when host John Schaefer talks with poet and musician Carl Hancock Rux and takes calls from our listeners. Also on the show, Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields joins us to share her reminiscences of the Civil Rights movement. She’ll play some songs by Nina Simone, a singer whose music evokes that time in Fields’ life, marching with Dr. King.
