King "Beyond Vietnam"

Beyond Vietnam: 40th Anniversary of King's Landmark Antiwar Speech

Forty years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King gave the speech "Beyond
Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence." It was April 4, 1967 -- a year to the day
before he was murdered. He was speaking at the Riverside Church here in New
York. King billed the speech as a declaration of independence from the war
and called the United States: "the greatest purveyor of violence in the
world today."
