The MLK video produced by Newviews Agency explores Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s deep ties to Richmond, Virginia, a lesser-known but significant part of his legacy. Through powerful narration and historical footage, the video chronicles Dr. King's visits to Virginia Union University, his role in the Civil Rights Movement within the city, and his efforts to fight segregation and economic injustice. It highlights pivotal moments such as his speeches at Coburn Hall, his advocacy for desegregation in schools, and his planned—but ultimately unrealized—return to Richmond during the Poor People's Campaign. The video underscores how Dr. King's influence shaped the city's history and continues to inspire social justice efforts today.
