Dr. King visited San Diego on May 29, 1964. He was traveling throughout the country to gather support for the National Civil Rights Act, which was signed into law later that year. That day Dr. King gave several speeches across the city. The largest of these gatherings was in Golden Gymnasium located on the campus of what is now PLNU. You can visit an information kiosk in Golden Gymnasium to hear excerpts from the speech "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution." Ken Kramer featured the kiosk on his About San Diego show. Read the article "On the Cusp of an American Civil Rights Revolution: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Final Visit and Address to San Diego in 1964" (2015) from The Journal of San Diego History. |
