Softcover. First edition. Five folio leaves mimeographed in blue ink on rectos only, and stapled in the upper left-hand corner. Slight age-toning at extremities, else very near fine. A rare copy of this extremely important address, almost certainly distributed at the event or very shortly thereafter, probably as a press release, and the first printed version of this speech, a watershed moment in the African-American struggle for Civil Rights, and King's first success with nonviolent protest. *OCLC* locates only two copies of this speech (University of California, Berkeley and the University of Michigan). Rare and significant.
