Welcome to episode eleven of OC Speakly. On this week's episode we discuss Martin Luther King, Jr. and his time spent in Orange County. We excerpt audio from two speeches made here: 55 years ago, MLK gave a speech at Chapman University, and 49 years ago he gave a speech in Anaheim 19 days before his assassination. Gabriel San Román discusses Dr. King's words and Gustavo talks with music editor Nate Jackson about growing up black in Orange County.
