Coretta Scott King delivers a speech on the Civil rights movement at the 27th peace march in New York. This took place three weeks after the death of her husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. Mrs. King reads from the handwritten notes of her husband's incomplete speech for this occasion, his "10 Commandments on Vietnam," his dedication to the poor people of America and the world, and asks for the women's support and participation in the poor people movement. Mrs. King closes her speech by reading Langston Hughes's poem, "Mother to Son."
