Happy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day


- Martin Luther King, Jr.'s last speech

 

From TalkLeft, by Jeralyn
I hope we all take a few minutes today to reacquaint ourselves with the extraordinary wisdom, vision and passion of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Some of my favorites:
- A one-minute video that features excerpts from Dr. King's 1967 speech, Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence , April 4, 1967, Riverside Church, New York City, amidst images of King, Vietnam, Bush, Iraq and more.
- Letter From Birmingham Jail (pdf), April 16, 1963
- I've Been to the Mountaintop: April 3, 1968. Dr. King's last speech, the day before his assassination, in support of the striking Memphis sanitation workers.
