    Rereading the Beyond Vietnam speech by Dr. King. You'll find yourself reading entire passages while holding your breath. https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/beyond-vietnam …

        "So we watch them in brutal solidarity burning the huts of a poor village, but we realize that they would hardly live on the same block in Chicago. I could not be silent in the face of such cruel manipulation of the poor."

        "I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government."

        I teach it every year right before his holiday. The ONE thing anybody should read about Americans and the war in Vietnam. How hard would that be for teachers to do that?

        Very. Americans haven’t learned to exist without their “USA! USA!” denials and delusions.

        And God bless the writer of the speech Vincent Harding for striking a strong blow to the MIC:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Harding …

        MLK: "The recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and I found myself in full accord when I read its opening lines: “A time comes when silence is betrayal.” That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam."

        In my family we’ve listened to a recording of this on MLK Day sometimes as an antidote to the “I Have A Dream” overload

        Amen to that Dave. MLK's speeches should be required reading. There was a lot of wisdom in one so young.

        The second paragraph, “a time comes when silence is betrayal,” hit me so hard. On so many levels. I had to stop right there to think, to ponder.

        I mean, I’ve known this and agreed for quite a while, but reading it in this context... just struck me harder than usual.
