Jim: Show date may be March 20, 1969. On the 3-14-69 show he mentions that everyone should send in their name and he would do another "Parade of Humanity" show 'next Thursday' which would have been 3-20-69

Max 8-31-10: I see there are two notes that somewhat conflict for the show today. I'm leaning towards the March date, rather than April, due to the Rokeach (note spelling) ad for Passover (which I would assume would be coming up or just upon us at the time of broadcast). According to http://www.theshalomcenter.org/node/1457 "A year later, on April 4, 1969, the first anniversary of Dr. King's death and the third night of Passover, the first Freedom Seder took place." The show probably took place before this date, so late March/very early April, but not as late as the April 18 date of the Madison show. Although, going to the 1969 Live Shows page, the Madison date is listed there as March 18, not April as noted in the program notes, so this further supports the March 20 date for this broadcast.
