Related: About this forumMartin Luther King Jr's "Beyond Vietnam: A Time To Break Silence" speech, April 4, 1967
Martin Luther King delivered this speech was fifty years ago today...exactly one year later, Dr. King would be assassinated.
We are intervening in different countries today...otherwise, little has changed.

It is well we remember these words. King would be criticized heavily for this speech, from many circles, but his words are as true now as 50 years ago.
