Herberq,
The current President of CCNT quoted from this speech in his
commencement speech of May 31, 2002:
<http://www.ccny.cuny.edu/president/speech156.html>
He may, of course, have found the speech in a book, or perhaps even in
CCNT archives.
It is clear that the extract Dr Williams used is widely quoted and
available on the Internet - though not necessarily the whole speech.
It is also clear that Dr King himself used this speech or adaptations
of it, or at least this extract, on a number of other occasions as
well.
You will find segments of the CCNT address scattered in a speech given
at his honorary degree ceemony June 1961 at Lincoln University
<http://www.indiana.edu/~ivieweb/mlkad.html>, and many echoes of this
speech in his address at Western Michigan University recorded (on
radio?) in December 1963
<http://www.wmich.edu/library/archives/mlk/transcription.html>.
He may well have used parts of these addresses for the commencement
speech at CCNT.
Hope this helps get you (or other researchers) closer to the full
address. Just a thought, why not write and ask Dr Williams where he
found his source?
====================
Strategy used:
Google search for combinations of phrases used in the extract found:
"single garment of destiny"
"catastrophic change and calamitous uncertainty"
"day of grave crisis"
=====================
Good luck,
