This is the greatest speech of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. It was also the one that signed his death warrant.

There's something strangely inconsistent about a nation and a press that will praise you when you say, Be non-violent toward Jim Clark, but will curse and damn you when you say, "Be non-violent toward little brown Vietnamese children. There's something wrong with that press!

For years I have called for a moratorium on the" I have a dream" speech that is repeated over and over again ad infinitum. It locks King into a 1963 mindset and disregards the last five years of his life." Why I oppose the war in Viet Nam" provides a more expansive view of a man who was in keeping with the issues of the day. To your journey!

@keithdoten347 10 жыл бұрын

I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, this speech makes too direct of a line from King's beliefs and convictions to his unabashed Christian faith and devotion to Jesus Christ to be heralded as highly as the 'I Have a Dream' speech, much less taught in our schools. "'Ye shall know the truth,' says Jesus, 'and the Truth shall set you free'" "this morning I speak to you on this issue, because I am determined to take the Gospel seriously" "But even if it (Nobel peace prize) were not present, I would yet have to live with the meaning of my commitment to the ministry of Jesus Christ. To me the connection of this ministry with the making of peace is so obvious..." "Could it be that they do not know that the good news was meant for all men" "Have they forgotten that my ministry is in obedience to the one who loved his enemies so fully that he died for them" "What can I say to the Vietcong or Castro or Mao as a faithful minister of Jesus Christ" "the calling to be a son of the Living God...this vocation of Sonship and Brotherhood...and because I believe that the Father is deeply concerned, especially for his suffering and outcast children..." "God told me to tell you this morning..." "It's pillars were grounded soundly in the insights of our Judeo-Christian heritage...All men are created in the image of God...All men are Brothers...Every man is an heir to a legacy of dignity and worth, Every man has rights that are neither conferred by, nor derived from the State, they are God-Given...out of one blood God made all men to dwell upon the face of the earth" "God has a way of standing before the nations in Judgement..." "Be still and know that I'm God" "I have long since learned that to be a follower of Jesus Christ means taking up the cross" "We shall overcome because the Bible is right..." Every Valley exalted and every mountain and hill made low...Glory of the Lord shall be revealed...Lion and the Lamb...Justice will roll down...swords in to plowshares, spears into pruning hooks...direct prophetic Old Testament citations...The direct quotation of 1st John 4...can't gloss over any of this nor contort it.

I am now 68 and I was 13 when he gave this speech. I remember how he was instantly condemned by the American press and the entire U S political establishment. He was the most powerful voice against the U S war in Vietnam and it got him killed. Listen to attorney William Pepper or read his books on the assassination of Dr. King. Pepper represented the King family in a wrongful death action in 1999 to determine who killed King - and the jury found that he was killed by "unnamed agents of the U S government". And this most important jury verdict in U S history was ignored by the press and most Americans do not know about it.

Many people say that it was because of this talk he was killed, the government could not allow him to speak about this.

"Because my conciousness leave me no other choice" He is the most perfect picture of Jesus Christ in Gethsemane. He new that he was facing death, his human body fears, but there is no choice. "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." "Because my conciousness leaves me no other choice."

I listen to this speech on his birthday, during the year and on his date of death. I am a Vietnam veteran. I was stationed at Fort Hamiliton, NY when Dr. King was assassinated. Probably two days after we were taken to a parade field in the anticipation of being deployed into Harlem for 'riot control'. Hey I was 20 years old what did I know. Up until about 10 years ago, in the King/Malcom X discussion I always went with Malcom X. I'm a white guy and to me King's way of thinking was a sellout to black people. That was the thought in the 'white radical' perspective in the 60's. Maybe I was wrong.
