There have been a few articles in the last few years that offer some insight into the times that Dr. King made a visit to Pittsburgh.

The Post-Gazette’s archive blog, The Digs, posted some photos from Dr. King’s visit to speak at the University of Pittsburgh on November 1, 1966 as well as some of his previous visits to town.
Last year, Rick Sebak wrote a story for Pittsburgh Magazine, which details many of the visits Dr. King made to Pittsburgh before his death.
From the Carnegie Museum of Art blog, some photos that Charles “Teenie” Harris captured of Dr. King’s press conference during his visit to the University of Pittsburgh in 1966.
