Happy Martin Luther King Day
I looked around the web and couldn't find audio of what is in my opinion King's best, most powerful, most beautiful, and most pertinent speech, "Why I Oppose the War In Vietnam". So here it is, in MP3 and complete, enjoy. It's a discussion of America's motives for involvement in Vietnam and a little bit about our hushed history, amazing how little has changed, the speech could have been made yesterday. In 1964, the year Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize, Time Magazine called him man of the year, but they called this speech "a demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi." Sort of like what they said about of America in Afghanistan. Made one year to the day before he was assassinated, April 4, 1967.
he did his speech
Why I Oppose The War In Vietnam
I Have A Dream

And if anyone knows of some good links to sites about the FBI files that show Hoover was wiretapping and slandering King, and hiring people to start riots at his speeches, and even listing good times to assassinate him, please post or email me. hazle 2121@yahoo.com
