Title: Civil Rights and Peace Activism Martin Luther King Jr. Addresses on Vietnam and American Foreign Policy 1967 to 1968
Author: Martin Luther King
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1968. King, Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. About the War in Vietnam, published 1968, presents a compilation of public addresses delivered during the final year of King's life in which he articulated his opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. King had emerged as the most visible leader of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s, and by 1967 he increasingly connected civil rights activism with broader questions of American foreign policy and global justice. In these speeches King framed the war as both a moral and political crisis, arguing that the conflict contradicted principles of human rights and diverted resources from domestic efforts to combat poverty and racial inequality. The speeches therefore document the moment when King expanded his public advocacy from civil rights legislation to criticism of American military policy. King, Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. About the War in Vietnam. New York: Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam, 1968. The pamphlet collects three speeches delivered between April 1967 and February 1968: "Vietnam and the Struggle for Human Rights," "The Domestic Impact of the War in Vietnam," and "Vietnam Is Upon Us." In these addresses King explained his decision to speak publicly against the war, writing that "my conscience leaves me no other choice." He described the conflict as a "nightmarish conflict" and argued that its consequences extended beyond Southeast Asia, emphasizing the social and economic effects of wartime mobilization on American communities. The publication was issued by the organization Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam, an interfaith coalition of religious leaders and activists formed in 1965 to oppose the war. King's opposition to the Vietnam War generated significant debate within the Civil Rights Movement and American political life. Many supporters of civil rights legislation worried that criticism of U.S. foreign policy might weaken political alliances necessary to advance domestic reform. Nevertheless, King continued to link the war to broader questions of global inequality and American political responsibility. The speeches included in this publication were delivered in the months immediately preceding his assassination in April 1968 and therefore represent some of his final public statements on international policy and social justice. Minor foxing present along the margins of the cover; interior text remains clean. Overall condition very good.
