MLK “A true brotherhood of man … in our nation”
In June 1964 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. answered a letter from Paula Pappenheim drawing similarities between the struggle for freedom and equality for African Americans and Jews. King entreated Pappenheim to join the struggle to inspire a spirit of connection and humanity among all Americans, if not throughout the world.
