Text transcribed from caption: P-31584 HUGE BERLIN CROWD GATHERS TO HEAR DR. KING WEST BERLIN -- More than 25,000 West Berliners attended the annual rally of the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg to hear Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who visited both sectors of the divided city. The famous integration leader was hailed by Bishop Otto Dibelius of the Berlin-Brandenburg Church (second from right) for his efforts to achieve racial reconciliation through nonviolence. Dr. King was invited to Berlin by Mayor Willy Brandt (right) to open the city's annual Cultural Festival. During his visit he received an honorary doctorate from West Berlin's Evangelical Theological College. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (KV-Ber-9C-64-NBM)
