CLEVELAND - A recording of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is getting new attention after being found in 2010 by an Ohio high school art teacher and student searching through items the school library was discarding.
The Plain Dealer newspaper reports the 1967 speech preserved on reel-to-reel tape was given, and found, at Glenville High School in Cleveland.
In it, King says "Our power does not lie in Molotov cocktails. ... Our power lies in our ability to say nonviolently that we aren't gonna take it any longer."
King was visiting the city at the request of a group of black ministers a year after riots in a city neighborhood.
The speech has been transferred to CD and will be used in social studies lessons at Cleveland schools.
