As Obama Visits Afghanistan, Tavis Smiley on Rev. Martin Luther King and His Opposition to the Vietnam War
As the President renews his commitment to expand the American military presence in Afghanistan, we turn to a man he is sometimes compared to: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A new special on PBS from TV host and author Tavis Smiley delves into this comparison and looks at a speech that has a particular resonance today with the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: Dr. King’s famous antiwar speech of April 4, 1967 titled “Beyond Vietnam.” [includes rush transcript]

ThiS is profound.
If you can find Tavis’s documentary and post it, we’d be blessed. Seems I missed it, and wouldn’t have known otherwise.
GREAT POST!
It’s on this post, Natureboy. It’s called, “MLK: A Call to Conscience”, it’s after the Democracy Now videos. It’s a link to the video on PBS.
Thank you, DS, ever the thorough journalist.
I know you are holding my hand while we deal with this, otherwise i couldn’t watch.
Thank you for patiently guiding we the non-political to slowly cope with the hell of humanity by reintroducing us to the few who learned how to Teach Peace.
Happy Easter!
Happy Pesach! And you are most welcome.
