What would Martin Luther King Jr. Say About Iraq? Video (8min 33sec). Dr. King's ideas about Vietnam---including his call for a fixed troop withdrawal date, his critique of efforts to prop up corrupt Vietnamese leaders, his suggestion that America provide asylum and health care to displaced Vietnamese, and his analysis of the difficulty of opposing the US government in wartime---give us a powerful idea of what he might say about Iraq today.
These powerful highlights from his historic April 1967 speech on the Vietnam War are combined with photos and videos that provide context for King's brave, patriotic leadership---and why it's all too relevant for understanding not only our past, but our present.
