To view a PDF of the page, click the following: The Gazette’s front page for April 5, 1968.
Also, something related from Grinnell College:
King delivered his final Iowa speech, “Remaining Awake During a Revolution,” on October 29, 1967 in Darby Gymnasium on Grinnell’s campus. We are unable to publish the speech online due to copyright rules, but King gave a very similar speech, Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution, in 1968 at the National Cathedral, Washington, D.C.
The Stanford site they link to also offers 2 audio clips from that speech:
