Martin Luther King Jr. at the 1963 Civil Rights March in Washington, D.C.
National Archives
“Much of the power of our Freedom Movement in the United States has come from jazz music. It has strengthened us with its sweet rhythms when courage began to fail. It has calmed us with its rich harmonies when spirits were down.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr. 1964 at Berlin Jazz Festival
