Many folk have heard that the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. made the comment that the U.S. government [was/is] "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today". This was in context to a speech delivered on April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church in New York City - exactly one year before his untimely death. Though not as well-known as his other speeches, this is one of the ones that speak deeply to my soul. Because of a few "blips" in the audio, I tried to include include the entire speech to be read along with the speech. It was, however, longer that what is allowed here.

SO.. you can see this embedded video AND read the speech on my blog here: http://4amoreperfectunion.blogspot.com/2011/01/rev-martin-luther-king-jr-apri...

  • I come from South Africa and have studied mr. King in school and even I am touched emotionally by his speeches! Having dealt with racism in my own country, there is no other man on this earth that could inspire me, as much as mr. King himself!! Thanks for this [Servant2All]

  • Ever noticed how amazing Johann Hari is?

    This definitely isn't Johann Hari's account.

    Definitely.

  • To constantly put everything on the line as if dead to the world in the name of love is powerful.

  • We yet have to finish... the unfinished agenda of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

  • we need this Man now today...we need his leadership...we need him to help us find a just future for our children..

  • Dick Cheney dislikes this video...

  • This is why he was killed. So vital and relevant till this very moment. Very powerfull.

  • who ever that dislike King's words should be flagged and removed

  • @Servant2All I have noticed that an important word was omitted from this video at the 10:01 Minute mark!

  • He was killed exactly one year after this speech on 4/4/68.

  • Thank you for this Servant2All, this is the kind of thing everyone should listen to at least once in their life.
