If you were to listen to just one episode of this podcast, this one would be it. We are all familiar with Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have A Dream” speech. But in my humble opinion, the best speech he ever gave was a lesser-known speech titled “Beyond Vietnam”. Don’t let the title fool you, this speech covers a lot of different topics and themes while also illuminating the reasons for America’s involvement in Vietnam. Yet it also covers so much more and is loaded with beautiful quotes and is delivered in the way that only MLK could deliver it. This episode is on the longer side, but it is definitely worth every second. So much of what MLK addresses is very relevant to the state of our world today. And in many ways this speech could be given today and would be just as relevant. Many of MLK’s supporters and advisors did not want him to deliver this speech, but he did so anyway. Exactly one year to the day that he delivered this speech, he would be assassinated.
