(RNS1-MARCH28) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., (center) leads a march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 21, 1965, in Selma, Ala., on the way to Montgomery, Ala. Forty years after delivering his most famous speech and 35 years after his assassination, many Americans are unfamiliar with King’s other oratorical works.
