Our translator station serving St. Francis and Cheyenne County at 96.3 FM is off the air due to an air conditioning breakdown at its leased transmitter site, making it too hot for HPPR's equipment to operate. We are currently working to fix the situation. We apologize for the loss of service and ask listeners to tune to KZNK at 90.1 FM or listen on line through the player above or HPPR's mobile app.

We hear excerpts from a speech Coretta Scott King gave in New York City three weeks after the assassination of her husband, Martin Luther King Jr. He was scheduled to address an anti-Vietnam War rally. Speaking from notes found in his pocket after his death, King delivered his messages to the group. (This story contains audio courtesy of Pacifica Radio Archives.)
