Martin Luther King's opinion on the Vietnam War:
In 1967, the war in Vietnam received much attention from Martin Luther King who conveyed his feelings in a speech in April. His main points in the speech were condemning the United States government for spending all resources on the war and ignoring the worsening race problems. The civil rights movement was no longer at the forefront of politics. He also pointed out the irony that American black men were taken 8,000 miles away in order to fight for civil liberties for South-East Asians when they did not enjoy the same rights in America. He commented that although it was commonplace to see blacks and whites die together on t.v. in Vietnam, had they been in the States, the same boys would be segregated. Also, Martin Luther King spent his whole life during civil rights movement preaching non-violent action and Vietnam was a complete contradiction to his beliefs.
Reason his family wants a piece of the action.
No piece of the action no memorial.
The other picture appros of his dream is Jesse L. Jackson.
