I recall that it was played on WDET at length on the day CAY died. It was great.

Ah, yes, I remember the one southern Senator - can't recall which one - kept saying this and that about the "Nigras", as he was pronouncing it, and Young admonished him, "The word is 'negro'. Speak more clearly."
Then later, when asked whether he thought this or that activity was unamerican, replied with "I find these hearings to be unamerican".
I'm paraphrasing, my memory is not what it once was, but this is the way he was talking to the United States Senate, and God bless him for it.
