HIGHLY Prophetic Speech Relevant To The War Today--MLK
Edited on Fri Apr-04-08 04:51 AM by SunsetDreams
I posted this in another MLK thread, but I believe with all my heart it deserves one of it's own.

In this video, MLK, I believe was talking about the Vietnam war, even though he didn't mention it by name. It can fully apply to Iraq today.

After 4013 dead, over a million Iraqi's killed, this speech is relevant.

1. "A Time to Break Silence"
Also known as "Beyond Vietnam," it was delivered at the Riverside Church in NYC on April 4, 1967 -- a year to the day before Martin's death.

Nominated.
