When I was 11 we had a school trip to line the route outside the University and cheer on this great man; for most of us he was the first black person we had ever seen. This man commanded respect and I am so glad we gave it.
I was at the Vice Chancellors Lodge in Newcastle, on the morning of 13th November 1967, when Martin Luther King visited the house for a "coffee morning" before travelling down to the University (to Kings Hall) for the presentation of his Honourary Degree from Newcastle University. My parents worked for the Vice Chancellor, and met Dr King that morning.
This should be a part the curriculum of every school in the country, if not the world. I am proud to come from a part of the country which conferred this honour on a truly great man.
Iam 57...I was three when He was killed ..I remember my mum,uncles,cousin's,sorrow...crying...My auntie Daphne, auntie Cherry... Beautiful people...Most of them gone now...This is the FIRST I have ever seen this .And did not know that Newcastle university did this.....Thank you🇯🇲🇬🇧💯❤️
I attended this marvelous event and had the privilege of a 35 minute private discussion with Martin Luther King in the music room of the Student Union of which I was then treasurer
Yes, that will have been shortly after he left the Coffee Morning at the Vice Chancellors Lodge, where he gave my mother his jacket pocket handkerchief, at the house where we lived. A very memorable day all tound.
I was totally unaware of Doctor Martin Luther King's honourary degree from my home cities university, but it brings happiness to my heart :) We, the English, shall destroy inequality wherever we shall lay eyes upon it...You were taken before your time, may history smile upon you, DOCTOR Martin, Luther, King. You legend.
Yes, it was a great day for our family, as he also visited our house in the morning, before his Degree Ceremony . . www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/remembering-historic-newcastle-old-photos-maps-even-stories.982536/post-54175633
Certain people have a presence about them! Martin Luther King is one of them! His voice gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing up! A truly great man!
The Beauty of his words inspires men and women to continue his fight in the looking for a more human society in which we can treat us as brothers dispite our differences.
We from the US We are happy he was shared the world over . The idea of this man will never die . It's the idea that we are all children, brothers and sisters. Called to love one another ❤️
Yes, 13th November 1967 was a very important day in our house (when Dr King visited here in the morning) as well as all over the great City of Newcastle upon Tyne, and all over the UK and the World.
Honor after honor, after honor, but it seems all these honors are not enough to honor him. He is distinctly above the rest of us. But I will welcome more honors for him dead or alive.
A well crafted speech from a man whose importance has been rightly magnified by his untimely death. I noted the powerful appropriate use of alliteration and the balance of structured statements. We don't have communicators like this today. But evil does not silence them.
This is amazing footage. Thanks so much for uploading this. For those wanting to know more about this visit by Dr King may I recommend 'Martin Luther King in Newcastle Upon Tyne' by Brian Ward. A fantastic book.
Yes, I know Brian and contributed a number of items and photos to his book. it is indeed an excellent book. We also loaned Artefacts from the day (13th November 1967) to the various exhibitions held during 2017 at the Newcastle University Philip Robinson Library and then at Newcastle City Library.

Hi there, I would like to thank you for uploading the video of Martin Luther King's honorary degree reception - it is of particular interest to me as the even is the focal point of my dissertation for this, my final, year of studies. I have noticed a comment that says you were at the VC's lodge for MLK's 'coffee morning', I would be fascinated to hear more about it! I would appreciate if you could add me as a contact on TH-cam so we may speak more about the issue. Thank-you, Fran Glover, Northumbria University.

The only thing that this video does is prove Martin King was a genius. Brilliant thinker and speaker who those present only realized later, if at all, how they had been in the present of a truly great human.
With this faith we’ll be able to transform the jangling discord of our nation and all the nations of this world into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood and speed up the day when justice will role down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream
I was familiar with the visits of Jimmy Carter, George W Bush and Muhammad Ali to this region but I didn't realize MLK had also come to the North East.

That must have been a surreal experience, seeing this great man in Newcastle. To think in less than 6 months he would be no more! Sobering thoughts..
This should be a part the curriculum of every school in the country, if not the world.
I am proud to come from a part of the country which conferred this honour on a truly great man.
Thank you
He is my hero as well

Oh you mean the centuries of colonialism does not count.
Thank you from the US
Very proud to be a Geordie when I see that Dr Martin Luther King was honoured there. A truly great man.
We love the ideals
We love the man
That voice...it sends a shiver of delight down your spine!
The melodic sound of his voice is only surpassed by his brilliance in articulating content.
The audio is slower than normal . The pitch needs to be stretched
@@GMANKOOL23 so that's why his voice seems deeper.
Certain people have a presence about them! Martin Luther King is one of them!
His voice gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing up!
A truly great man!
God was probably taking through him I'm sure .
Wow! Such an intellectual! His speech was clearly on the post graduate level. He flexed lol.
The Beauty of his words inspires men and women to continue his fight in the looking for a more human society in which we can treat us as brothers dispite our differences.
Yes indeed, but the 'fight' still has a very long way to go though, even 53 years after this Newcastle speech.
Amazing. I never knew this and am proud of Newcastle.
We from the US We are happy he was shared the world over .
The idea of this man will never die . It's the idea that we are all children, brothers and sisters.

I learned about this clip from the movie Equal Standards. I’m so glad I found this clip. Powerful and true. Rest In Peace Doctor King

Me too
Same here. I just watched the movie on Thanksgiving and I just had to find this speech very powerful and something much needed today.
Wow. Thanks so much for posting! Extraordinary.
What a beautiful gesture by a lovely city & a top university.
It was a great day!
The US citizens thank you for your wonderful words to such a wonderful person ❤️
Long live the spirit of MLK Jr may good God save your soul until the end of time RIP
Well said.
Honor after honor, after honor, but it seems all these honors are not enough to honor him. He is distinctly above the rest of us. But I will welcome more honors for him dead or alive.
Still teaching us. A true intellect. The King xxx

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr 🤴. Amazing man. Yes. God is great 😊
I can imagine MLK could have never forseen how diverse the UK would be decades later! NTM, a Black success or Indian PM.
Correction, duchess!
There is none like him, simply amazing speaker!
The law cannot restrain the heart. But it can restrain the heartless
The only thing that this video does is prove Martin King was a genius. Brilliant thinker and speaker who those present only realized later, if at all, how they had been in the present of a truly great human.
I totally agree with an honest man
See his comment below.

The law cannot make a man love me. But it can restrain him from lynching me
RIP Doctor king
He was a modern day prophet for our time, of which there are few. The things he taught then are exactly relevant to the chaotic times of today.
THANK YOU. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
He earned it all!
That's my Brother❤️🙏

Martine Luther king ni kama tudu lisu
.
They still said negro in the 60s to actual black people it would have just made more sense to say black
Martin Luther King himself used this term.
Historical context is needed to understand such matters.
