Iconic actor/comedian, Dick Van Dyke, now 97, was going through some papers and discovered a speech he had delivered in 1964. Entitled "A Most Non-Political Speech," it was written by Rod Serling and delivered by Van Dyke at a May 31 civil rights rally at the LA Coliseum that was keynoted by Martin Luther King, Jr.
