In May 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Color photographs discovered in 2019 show King at the podium and crowd around him
he used in his more famous 1963 speech. “Now is the time to open the floodgates of opportunity and allow now an avalanche of justice to pour upon us. Now is the time to get rid of segregation and discrimination. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children. This is the challenge of the hour.”At the time, Barbara Moss’s father, Jay A. Brown, worked as an assistant to Congressman Thomas Rees. He attended the event, capturing it in color film.
The resulting photographs show King at the podium and also capture the crowd attending the speech. Moss rediscovered the photos, about 50 years later, after her father passed away in 2013. Though her father was a “purger” he had kept these developed photos, and it was immediately clear that they showed Martin Luther King Jr. in action. But, during the personally hectic few years that followed, Moss forgot about the pictures.
