Martin Luther King, Jr. was the most famous black orator in history. However, he was hardly alone.

These orators, and the very act of speaking out, played a crucial role in the long struggle for equal rights. Hear some of those seminal speeches in Say It Plain, which pre-empts Fresh Air Weekend, this weekend only.
