Video of a speech against the Vietnam War by MLK, jr.:
The notes accompanying the video also include links to text of the speech and a realaudio recording of the speech. They also note that a recording of the speech won the 1970 Grammy for Spoken Word. See my BLOG for the text of Dr. King's speech "BEYOND VIETNAM: A TIME TO BREAK SILENCE" and compare his comments about the war at that time and the war at this time.

*** A note about "TOP FRIENDS"~ EYO, I use the "top friends" section not to show who are my closest sistrens and bredrens(many are not even computer-users or online), but to promote certain artists and causes who are doing salient work right now, or who have new releases or gigs. So please don't take it personally if I don't put you on there. Some connections happen better subtly...As Junior Kelly sings, "RASTA SHOULD BE DEEPER...YOU MUST CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE..." ~peace
In my mixes, you pretty much hear a sampling of MUSIKA & POETRY I love...
