A Texas Historical Commission marker will be placed on the campus of Southern Methodist University on Tuesday to mark the spot where Dr. Martin Luther King delivered a speech called ‘The Future of Integration.’
The marker will be placed outside McFarlin Auditorium on the Dallas campus, where Dr. King made the speech on March 17, 1966.
"He was very down to earth, had a great sense of humor, asked questions about Dallas. He was interested in us as students and our school," said Cox."What a great person and I was privileged to be with him when he spoke," he said. SMU was one of the few predominantly white universities in the South where Dr. King spoke, and the only one in Texas at the request of students.
