I honestly think this speech is as important (and way more blunt) than the "I have a dream speech".
No one has really ever listened to it, but MLK kind of throws down the gauntlet to the US.
He doesn't focus on race, but on class, poverty, and the hypocrisy of the US in dealing not only with Vietnam, but with its own citizens.
Take a listen, it's great.
Freaking awesome..
Yeah.
Unfortunately at the time, no one really noticed or cared.
The economic/class issues he brings up are even more relevant today than they were then.
Good on you for listening - spread it as far and wide as you possibly can : )
