Martin Luther King, Jr - The Other America (1967)

By 1967, war, racism, and poverty had become the dominant issues confronting America and the Freedom Movement. On April 4, Dr. King forcefully speaks out against the Vietnam War with "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence," delivered at Riverside Church in New York City. Ten days later, in a speech at Stanford University titled "The Other America," Dr. King addresses race, poverty and economic justice. (At various times in 1967 and '68 he gave slightly different versions of "The Other America" to other audiences. - www.crmvet.org

MLK is the man who changed history American . If he were alive now, he would not change his principles. His sermons and calls for peaceful settlement of conflicts, good and light resonate in the hearts of people, regardless of their race and to this day. The words of his last moving speech, titled "I have seen the promised Land," are especially prophetic in light of the fact that he was killed the next day. Killed, but not forgotten, because his incredible courage, decency and sense of justice remained forever in the hearts of future generations.

[@robertshepherd8543]

I might not agree with CRT, depending on the devil in the details. But I feel like Dr. King's sermons and philosophy ought to be taught as part and parcel of Patriotic education, and Character education, in America's schools.

Lovely man of God was MLK. A speech he gave at UCLA in 1965 was recently discovered, having been lost for 50 + years. Wow... It is epic. It seems that not many people realize that MLK jr spent 5 weeks in India, touring from North to South, and East to West. Hopefully some Indian people still honor him, although I am stationed here in India, and find it to be more racist than even the Black Belt of America (the South). Even a rare few Indians admit it is so racist. But since I was born and grew up in a part of America that didn't have many African American citizens I didn't learn about the racism and civil rights til later in my life. Then I thought about my experiences in India, and well, I consider it a lesson from God to learn what oppression and discrimination and prejudice actually look and FEEL like .

@@glenncater1 I see your concern. Asians have made opportunities, but it wasn’t always that way. Look at the interment camps for the Japanese.

Everywhere we turned and turn today, there are ways to keep the majority down.

@@jadedjene8786 Blacks aren’t the reason they’re being punished. What I’m getting at is “we” already put in work. White folks called us commies and other things because of “them” also.

Listen closely. This speech was not about separation and reparations. MLK teaches inclusion and a dignified standard of living for all. It's not black and white, its rich and poor.

[@jjg1568]

IT’S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE RICH & THE POOR! As soon as poor whites figure that out and get it, the sooner American can turn around and have ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR ALL! Racism is the weapon used to divide and conquer the poor whites from the blacks to make them believe that the rich is entitled to more than their fair share. If all poor groups joined together, there would be too much POWER in that group!
