Martin Luther King, Jr.: Beyond Vietnam - Wed 6:00pm

Every year, almost like clockwork around his birthday, Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream?” speech gets airplay. It was a great and historic presentation. But he gave another significant speech on April 4, 1967 in Riverside Church in New York. There, he moved beyond a simple race analysis to include class and foreign policy issues. He forcefully denounced the war in Vietnam. One year later he was assassinated in Memphis where he had gone in solidarity with striking sanitation workers.
