That Spirit is still alive today – it is timeless }}} ( Canada )
Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech "Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam" from April 30, 1967 is arguably the most powerful and eloquent oration in American history.
Thankyou for showing this.

MLK was killed because he turned against integration. MLK was never really into integration. But he had to go along with the agenda that was being pushed by the socialist party and LBJ: integration. To change how americans viewed the klan that permeated the democrat party. So the Big Four was formed (CORE) with MLK. If they could push the integration angle then LBJ would give them the Civil rights act. After that MLK turned to politics and its economic role. This pissed off a lot of whites and a lot of MLK entourage. Certain government agents decided that MLK had to go. Jesse Jackson was selected to replace MLK. Upon MLK death the integration agenda was reimplemented and Jackson formed the rainbow coalition. I happen to be a former Memphis Invader. Most of us are dead. The government ran a heavy smear campaign against the Invaders because we were close to MLK and know to much. Knew a lot of the people involved. And know the role mlk entourage played in setting him up for the kill shot. And it was a black police snitch who infiltrated the Invaders and started the riots in order to get King back to memphis. There was a lot of internal conflicts surrounding Kings entourage. When I was in shelby county jail I was a rockman. I took care of the 3rd floor. Rev Ralph Abernathy was my responsibility because he was in jail on hunger strike. I observed the tension among the men. They did not particularly care for Abernathy. They wanted to take the SCLC to another arena: Jackson and others wanted to push integration so that they could sell the civil rights act to other ethnic groups and immigrants and illegals and feminist. And make a lot of money. Mlk had revealed himself to be to charismatic and addressed black spirituality ( not religion) and in so doing blacks for once rediscovered MONOLITHIC acts and deeds that made us one people. With one purpose. And when MLK turned from integration and embraced economic parity that's when he had to go. In prison ( Tennessee State Prison) I was classified a so called radical. Me and James Earl Ray shared an entire cellblock together. Ray had pissed off some folk by saying he would talk. They put me in with him hoping a black radical would kill kings killer. Or ray killed me. They didn't care. Ray and i got along because of the convict code.
THANK YOU
Know your history. Know your rights. Stand your ground and fight back.
My father is alive because he defended his duty as a husband and a father to not allow a government to force him to kill.
I'm alive because men like MLK lived.
This year is not the 50th anniversary. MLK was killed in 1968.
This is why he was killed..soon as he start speaking on the wars and hyper capitalism..they felt like he had to go
This is moved in ways that I didn't think i could be moved. Thank REAL NEWS NETWORK for reminding of the expansive platform that MLK had. He was a true revolutionary and He and his allies would have created a better America if they were allowed to.
And the banks call today a holiday. They should be ashamed.
It’s so sad to see his life gone and so many others only to see his comrades join the rich and powerful setting in congress voting for the bush and the Clintons and the Obama and the trumps wars
It’s so sad to see everything he fought for and so many others
To see men and women now have achieved equality just lose it
Look at the men and women from these days and look at the men and women today
Saggy pants and women showing her ass off
Thanks god that you gone
Would kill you to see your comrades sitting in congress voting for wars and sanctions against others
I have heard snippets of this speech, unfortunately, until now have I heard the complete version in its glorious wholeness. Gotta find the complete transcript so that I may laminate it and hang it on my wall!!! Beast mode!!
The one down-vote? John Bolton must have watched this accidentally.
Well, we'll have to fashion up a documentary for Marzieh Hashemi 'When Silence Becomes Betrayal' but the Real News should not neglect reporting on her in real time.
The beat way to figure you're making an impact on the overlords is when they kill you. Sad but true
Every time I hear this mans voice I get emotional
wow I cryed all day long bc of this
He was born in January and assassinated in April. Bless you RNN.
I still cry for what is left undone.
The fact that the names have changed in no way makes his message any less true or relevant today than it was on the day this sermon was first delivered.
Malcolm before the Hajj had it right.
He should have said, "It is time that America should see what it has become." In 2019, it is only worse. It got him killed in the final analysis. Sad – very sad. We lost so much 4/4/1968
A true American hero! Let's finish the revolution that he started. – "“A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. … A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say, "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of South America and say, "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.†– Martin Luther King Jr.
