Martin Luther King Jr.

comments



I believe that MLK Day is not a day off, but a day on.

Dr. King was an amazing social justice activist. He worked against racism, classism, and poverty. He was anti-war and pro-peace. I feel re-energized on MLK Day.

His words on why he was opposed to the war in Vietnam are extremely relevant in today’s landscape.

Listen to the full audio recording of “Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam”

…And nations will not rise up against nations, neither shall they study war anymore. And I don’t know about you, I ain’t gonna study war no more. — Martin Luther King Jr.
