MLK Beyond Vietnam Speech

Hear a prophet’s bold dissent echo through time in MLK Beyond Vietnam Speech, a stirring archival film that captures Martin Luther King Jr.’s fearless stand against the Vietnam War on April 4, 1967, at Riverside Church. This mid-century gem unfurls in stark black-and-white: MLK, suit sharp, voice resonant, steps to the pulpit—2500 souls hush as he links civil rights to global peace, decrying war’s toll on the poor. The camera holds steady—his eyes burn, hands gesture—‘A time comes when silence is betrayal,’ he thunders, a call to halt bombs shredding Vietnam’s hamlets and America’s soul. Newsreel clips flicker—protests flare, napalm scars earth—framing his plea against militarism’s shadow. A mid-20th-century lens on a preacher’s pivot, it’s courage crystallized in grainy glory.
