The Lost Snipets - "The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1100

I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. Not sure when this segment was created but I went with the 1977 classic "patchwork" Snipets logo. Enjoy.

(please excuse the black bar on the screen - this is the best copy I have so far)
This Snipet was produced by Denis McNicoll.
