World Conference on Church and Society, Geneva, July 17, 1966.
Speaking from Chicago, at the centre of racial violence nearly 5000 miles away, the American civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King described such violence as "self-defeating" and "self-destructive".
Dr King was heard by a congregation of 1000 in the Cathedral of St. Pierre and was seen by many thousands more throughout Europe via television.
The sermon he was to have delivered to the conference service in the cathedral this morning was filmed yesterday in Chicago at the Church of the Brethren in Central Park. The film was then flown to Geneva.
