Martin Luther King - A Time to Break Silence
Martin Luther King - A Time to Break Silence Starting in 1965, King began to express doubts about the United States' role in the Vietnam War. In an April 4, 1967, appearance at the New York City Riverside Church — exactly one year before his death — King delivered Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence. In the speech he spoke strongly against the US's role in the war, insisting that the US was in Vietnam "to occupy it as an American colony" and calling the US government "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." "Now, it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of America today can ignore the present war. If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over. So it is that those of us who are yet determined that America will be are led down the path of protest and dissent, working for the health of our land." "At this point I should make it clear that while I have tried in these last few minutes to give a voice to the voiceless in Vietnam and to understand the arguments of those who are called "enemy," I am as deeply concerned about our own troops there as anything else. For it occurs to me that what we are submitting them to in Vietnam is not simply the brutalizing process that goes on in any war where armies face each other and seek to destroy. We are adding cynicism to the process of death, for ...

On March 28, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. appeared on NBC's Meet The Press. One week after leading his historic five-day march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, King said that the demonstration was necessary not just to help push the Voting Rights Bill through, but to draw attention to the humiliating conditions in Alabama such as police brutality and racially-motivated murder.

Martin Luther King - But if Not - FULL SERMON
A sermon given by Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta in November, 1967. The title, "But if Not", comes from Daniel chapter 3, verse 18 in the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Audio is from the Internet Archive: www.archive.org Picture is from the Library of Congress via wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org Full transcription available on my blog: notoriousbiggins.blogspot.com One great quote: I want to say to you this morning, my friends, that somewhere along the way you should discover something that's so dear, so precious to you, that is so eternally worthful, that you will never give it up. You ought to discover some principle, you ought to have some great faith that grips you so much that you will never give it up. Somehow you go on and say "I know that the God that I worship is able to deliver me, but if not, I'm going on anyhow, I'm going to stand up for it anyway. What does this mean? It means, in the final analysis, you do right not to avoid hell. If you're doing right merely to keep from going to something that traditional theology has called hell then you aren't doing right. If you do right merely to go to a condition that theologians have called heaven, you aren't doing right. If you are doing right to avoid pain and to achieve happiness and pleasure then you aren't doing right. Ultimately you must do right because it's right to do right. And you got to say "But if not." You must love ultimately because it's lovely to love. You ...

Dr. Martin Luther King Speaks to The 99% Movement
Powerful! Stunning! Unsettling! Inspiring! A profoundly moving video, a wake up call, a call to conscience, a call to faith, and a call to action. Dr. Kings words seem to have been written for the courageous Americans who are echoing the truth that We Are the 99%. Students, war veterans, police officers now joining the We Are the 99% Movement, as well as many wealthy people in the 1%, who are seeing the moral justice of this movement. Share this video widley.

Boondocks - Martin Luther King Speech
It needed to be said. What we want to hear isn't always what we need to hear. Back in the 1980's corporations decided to send out youth scouts to get inside our heads. They saw us as a potential marketing demographic to exploit. They force fed us this culture, Record Labels, Rap, BET, MTV, Brand Names, Pop, the club scene, it's all to serve a few greedy bastards at the top who are profiting off of our stolen identity. When we embrace this culture of ignorance we betray the dream of MLK.
Martin Luther King Jr., "The Drum Major Instinct" Sermon
This is one of my absolute favorite of King's speeches: his final sermon before he was assassinated. I can't listen to this without shedding tears. TEXT: thewordsofmyheroes.blogspot.com Synopsis: King's "Drum Major Instinct" sermon, given on 4 February 1968, was an adaptation of the 1952 homily ''Drum-Major Instincts'' by J. Wallace Hamilton. King encouraged his congregation to seek greatness, but to do so through service and love. King concluded the sermon by imagining his own funeral, downplaying his famous achievements and emphasizing his heart to do right.

Martin Luther King / Ron Paul [Youtube banned this clip]
The original title of this video was "America, have you forgotten history". The idea was to remind people of the message some of the earlier leaders and heroes were not shy to promote; Peace, prosperity and liberty. If you like this clip I'll ask you to download it from: xs2.lhi.is You can use it in any way you like. Some have suggested burning it onto a CD or DVD and handing it out. My wish is that you download it and then create a new youtube user account and upload it. Because I suspect this video will be pulled. I would be glad to change it, if Youtube told me exactly what rules I broke and why they terminated all my videos and account. But until then... The video remains unaltered! To create a new Youtube account you need to create a new e-mail. It is very easy to create one on gmail.com. Thanks! Martin Luther King day is on January 21st and in his honor I ask you to help win the fight for peace by donating to Ron Paul who is the only republican candidate who is against the war. He wants to pull the troops home from all countries in the world. Brief Overview of Congressman Paul's Record: He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted ...

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. - April 4, 1967 - Beyond Vietnam: A Time To Break Silence [Full Speech]
Many folk have heard that the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. made the comment that the US government [was/is] "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today". This was in context to a speech delivered on April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church in New York City - exactly one year before his untimely death. Though not as well-known as his other speeches, this is one of the ones that speak deeply to my soul. Because of a few "blips" in the audio, I tried to include include the entire speech to be read along with the speech. It was, however, longer that what is allowed here. SO.. you can see this embedded video AND read the speech on my blog here: 4amoreperfectunion.blogspot.com
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Opens
SALE TODAY: Learn Piano on iOS bit.ly The first look at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial triggered tears for many visitors Monday as they struggled to explain what they were feeling. The memorial, on 4 acres overlooking the Tidal Basin, will be dedicated Sunday August 28th. King is depicted as emerging from a "Stone of Hope," the enormity of his legacy as a civil rights leader captured in a 30-foot-tall colossus. It was opened to the public for the first time Monday — a $120 million creation that has been at least 15 years in the making. Excerpts from King's speeches are inscribed on the walls on either side of the statue. Monday's debut kicks off a week of black-tie, white-tie and informal events all geared toward raising money for and drawing attention to the memorial and Sunday's dedication. During that event, President Obama will bury a time capsule that will include a donation from him, from the memorial foundation and from the King family, said Harry Johnson, CEO of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Foundation. The dedication will take place on the anniversary of the March on Washington on Aug. 28, 1963, during which King delivered his seminal "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial, not far from the memorial site. Master sculptor Lei Yixin of China, who created the memorial has said, "Martin Luther King is not only a hero of Americans, he also is a hero of the world, and he pursued the universal dream of the people of the world." www ...

A Great Martin Luther King Jr. Video
From Wikipedia: "Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 -- April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King is often presented as a heroic leader in the history of modern American liberalism." The video does not advocate that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. supported The Zeitgeist Movement as he passed long before its conception. Rather, using his own words, to simply show how Dr. King was in line with the thoughts and direction of this movement that concerns all of human kind. Also, this would've been my submission to the first Zeitgeist Media Festival, an annual event for which I was unable to attend.

Martin Luther King on Technology
"When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast with a scientific and technological abundance. We've learned to fly the air as birds, we've learned to swim the seas as fish, yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters." This clip comes from the documentary "Berkeley in the Sixties" I have no more info about this speech. If you do, please post it.

Rare Video of Martin Luther King, Jr. on Civil Rights and Peace
Rare excerpts from "The Frank McGee Sunday Report: Martin Luther King Profile," NBC News, May 7, 1967. The symbol behind Dr. King was used by the Chicago Freedom Movement, also known as the Chicago Open Housing Movement, which Dr. King helped lead from 1965-67. Under it was the slogan, coined by movement spokesperson Don Rose, "We're On the Move To End Slums." In the interview, Dr. King talks with NBC correspondent Tom Petit about why he chose to "take a vigorous stand" against the US government's undeclared war in Vietnam, for which he had received widespread criticism from the news media, civil-rights groups, religious and labor leaders and President Lyndon B. Johnson's administration. "I cannot overlook the fact that I am a Negro," Dr. King tells Petit, "and that this war is doing a great deal to destroy the lives of thousands and thousands of my brothers and sisters. We are dying physically in disproportionate numbers in Vietnam. ... The other thing is that we are dying spiritually and psychologically in disproportionate numbers at home in the ghettos, and I think the war itself accounts for our spiritual and psychological death here at home." This is how the struggles for civil rights at home and for peace abroad are "tied together." Dr. King also answers the charge that the civil-rights movement is "dead" by explaining that it has entered a "new phase ... where we are seeking GENUINE equality, where we are dealing with hard economic and social issues" beyond ...

Bobby Kennedy anounces Martin Luther King's death, Indianapolic, IN 1968 (TEXT)
April 4, 1968, Indianapolis, IN Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening, because I have some -- some very sad news for all of you -- Could you lower those signs, please? -- I have some very sad news for all of you, and, I think, sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee. Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black -- considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization -- black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion, and love. For those of you who are black and are tempted to fill with -- be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I ...
