“Keep Moving from This Mountain”
On April 10, 1960, King was the guest speaker at Spelman College’s 79th Annual Founder’s Day. His mother (far right in the photo) was an alumna of the school, the oldest college for black women. (The gentleman in the center of the photo is Dr. Albert Manley, who was then the president of Spelman.)
In his speech, King encouraged the women of Spelman to become involved in the struggle for racial equality.
