"MLK Jr." radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin reflecting on Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy on the occassion of the Fourth of July weekend. AuCoin references Martin Luther King Jr.’s "Letter from Birmingham Jail," stating that injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere, and that there are two kinds of laws, just and unjust laws, and that we as Americans have the moral responsibility to choose whether to obey or disobey. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired from July 2001-2004. *Trigger warning on the language used in this podcast.
