A rare audio of Martin Luther King Jr. was found in the home of a man from Tennessee. Stephon Tull said he found the audio reel labeled, “Dr. King Interview, Dec. 21, 1960” in his attic. The interview was conducted and recorded by Tull’s father, who was interviewing King for a book project that was never completed.
