Martin Luther King's 1967 "Beyond Vietnam" speech, made exactly one year before he was killed
It's a speech I think often overshadowed by his "I have a dream" speech and his final "Mountaintop" speech, but it is nonetheless monumental. Click here to listen, courtesy of AmericanRhetoric.com.
King points out that militarism will continue to mar America in the future. His message is eerily familiar, similar to current criticism of the Iraq War. Also I think it's relevant to the last few posts here on TIA re optimism and patriotism.
