A Time to Break Silence
"We are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for victims of our nation and for those it calls enemy, for no document from human hands can make these humans any less our brothers."
"A time comes when silence is betrayal." That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam. -
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift, is approaching spiritual death"
I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube. So I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor. - Rev. Martin Luther King -
