Two Civil Rights workers who worked alongside Dr. King more than 50 years ago reflect on serving the movement’s leader.
Mickey Shur and Peter Geffen discuss having their photograph made with Dr. King, who ended up signing a copy for both of them.
“This is our most treasured possession,” Geffen told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Geffen and Shur even discuss fetching a mule to carry Dr. King's body to his burial place.
