"For the past 11 years, civil rights historian Vicki Crawford has worked as the
director of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, where she
oversees the archive consisting of iconic sermons, speeches, writings and other
materials belonging to King.

Few archives of historical papers compare with the importance of the Morehouse
King Collection. Aside from King’s life, the collection chronicles many of the
major events that occurred during the civil rights movement.

Since joining Morehouse, Crawford says she especially enjoys introducing
younger generations to King and helping them understand the powerful lessons of
the struggle for social justice, particularly how everyday people organized and
worked for social change.

Of the countless things she has seen, read and learned about King’s theology
and civil rights activism, Crawford details five of the countless aspects of
his life that stand out."
