The Place, The March, The Movement | MLK Jr. March on Frankfort

Martin Luther King Jr. was the featured speaker at a March on Frankfort, Kentucky in 1964, where an estimated 10,000 people gathered in a peaceful protest for civil rights. In 2022, researchers Joanna Hay and Le Datta Grimes, Ph.D., recorded interviews with 10 people who participated in that march as teens or young adults. In this video, interviewees reflect on the importance of place, the march and the civil rights movement.
