(1/2) Martin Luther King, Jr.- His Best Speech

This is "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence," made one year before his murder. It can easily be applied to today. Many know his famous "I Have A Dream" speech, but this one is my favorite. Let history show us the path to enlightenment and peace.

April 1967: I was in high school ; it was a time of tension for all of us The draft was in place and all of the *boys* worried whether their number would come up and they would ship out for that war torn country. We kids were all dissidents, doves, flower children: our parents thought that if the president wanted war, then it must be right. King was liked because he delivered his speeches in a dispassionate way: contrast that to Malcolm X who scared white America with his bitter diatribes.

@8journey8 Yes, you must love the way he speaks. It's just pure truth! I really admire his courage, wisdom, foresight, and dedication to nonviolence. If I could meet any historical figure, it would definitely be Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr!

the bigots remain in Washington and local offices of Nonrepresentation of the People, remain in the poli-corporate elitistism warmongering of liars and profiteers, remain as destructors of livelihoods, peace, and economy of families. It is time. 2012 or never, Be here Now, Solidarity.
