Here's an amazing letter from May 16, 1953, from Einstein. I was just shown it at the Kheel Center @Cornell, which was quite emotional for me (Ted Kheel and Ann Kheel were my uncle and aunt).

Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who saw labor and civil rights as twin pillars of social reform. Here he is with the 1199 Salute to Freedom program, in which he attended and gave his "The Other America" speech.
