This week on From the Vault we present highlights from our Back-to-School twelve-hour national broadcast that supported the Pacifica Radio Archives mission to discover, restore and make accessible the audio treasures in our collection.

- Host Margaret Prescod features Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking on non-violence.

- KPFK host Sonali Kolhatkar and KPFA host Brian Edwards Tiekert play selections for a recording of the 1964 funeral of James Chaney.

- KPFK host Eric Mann plays Malcolm X's famous speech "The Ballot or The Bullet," delivered right before the 1964 Presidential election.

- Pacifica Radio Archive Director Brian DeShazor, PRA Grant Advisor Adi Gevins, PRA Archivist Jolene Beiser and KPFK Senior Producer Christine Blosdale discuss the project American Women Making History and Culture: 1963-1982, and play selections from a recording made by Marcia Tomkins during her infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan in 1964.

From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the GRAMMY Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission at the National Archives and Records Administration, and past grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners. We also thank our partners and collaborators at the Pop-Up Archive, Amara, Other Minds Archives, George Blood Audio, and the California Audio Visual Preservation Project.
