Beyond Vietnam

One often overlooked aspect of Martin Luther King Jr.'s career is his opposition to the war in Vietnam. In April 1967, Dr King delivered what would be known as his 'Beyond Vietnam' speech. You can listen to his speech and view the transcript here: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkatimetobreaksilence.htm.

To learn more about the King's life and views, consult one of the many books held by VCU Libraries.
