On a day when we remember Martin Luther King Jr., you might not realize that the country-shaping Civil Rights leader once spoke in NC State’s legendary Reynolds Coliseum.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, take a look at this historic pic: MLK Jr. had actually spoken at our own Reynolds Coliseum in July 31st, 1966. To a crowd of 5,000, he called for people to support “our aspirations for freedom & human dignity.” #MLKDay pic.twitter.com/yjtHQk1Gkc

Up until recently there have only been a few photos from King’s speech in Reynolds, but new footage has been found from the event.
