In King's Vibrato Maurice O. Wallace explores the sonic character
of Martin Luther King Jr.'s voice and its power to move the world.
Providing a cultural history and critical theory of the black
modernist soundscapes that helped inform King's vocal timbre,
Wallace shows how the qualities of King's voice depended on a mix
of ecclesial architecture and acoustics, musical instrumentation
and sound technology, audience and song. He examines the acoustical
architectures of the African American churches where King spoke and
the centrality of the pipe organ in these churches, offers a black
feminist critique of the influence of gospel on King, and outlines
how variations in natural environments and sound amplifications
made each of King's three deliveries of the "I Have a Dream" speech
unique. By mapping the vocal timbre of one of the most important
figures of black hope and protest in American history, Wallace
presents King as the embodiment of the sound of modern black
thought.
