The speech which turned even some of his own against him, although his first speech against the war was at a Clergy and Laity Concerned conference at the Riverside Church on April 4. I don’t know what made this one worse in some peoples’ eyes.

Democracy Now has several of Dr. King’s speeches available on their website today:
“While Dr. King is primarily remembered as a civil rights leader, he also championed the cause of the poor and organized the Poor People’s Campaign to address issues of economic justice. Dr. King was also a fierce critic of US foreign policy and the Vietnam War. We play his “Beyond Vietnam” speech, which he delivered at New York’s Riverside Church on April 4, 1967, as well as his last speech, “I Have Been to the Mountain Top,” that he gave on April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated. ”

The hypocrisy from people singing his praises who hated him when he was alive is barely tolerable. His whitewashing by the popular media is even less tolerable.
