MLK

Amen.

I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves
me no other choice. I join you in this meeting because I am in deepest agreement
with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together: Clergy
and Laymen Concerned about Vietnam. The recent statements of your executive
committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and I found myself in full accord
when I read its opening lines: "A time comes when silence is betrayal." And that
time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.


Read, or listen, to the whole speech.
