Buffalo saw an evolving Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. speak out against the Vietnam War in Buffalo, less than five months before he was assassinated 50 years ago Wednesday.
The civil rights leader came to Kleinhans Music Hall on Nov. 9, 1967, months after first linking the growing anti-war movement to the civil rights movement.
