MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr FAMOUS SPEECH
Here is Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech about war delivered 4 April 1967 at a meeting of Clergy and Laity Concerned at Riverside Church in New York City. It is remarkable to listen to the audio! Take some time to listen now during his birthday remembrance.
Beyond Vietnam -- A Time to Break Silence
NOTE:
Take a moment to become familiar with the National Peace Academy initiative.
The purpose of the National Peace Academy is to support, advance and nurture cultures of peace by conducting research and facilitating learning toward the development of peace systems - local to global - and the full spectrum of the peacebuilder - inner and outer, personal and professional.
Here is the definition of peace that we advocate (from the Earth Charter). This definition articulates well the understanding of peace that motivates and guides the development of the National Peace Academy:
"Peace is the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part."
Afghanistan War Death Count
Like during the Bush regime, we need to count, mourn, and protest!
US PEACE MEMORIAL FOUNDATION
Most monuments in our nation's capital commemorate war. While soldiers are told that it is honorable to fight and die for one's country, peace activists are often labeled “un-American”, “antimilitary”, and “unpatriotic.” This mentality has resulted in a country that recognizes contributions to war and the sacrifices of the military, but does not honor those who make valiant efforts to maintain global peace.
The US Peace Memorial will honor the millions of thoughtful and committed Americans who have dedicated their lives to peace or taken a stand against a particular US war. It will serve as a reminder that Americans value peace. It does not seek to diminish or disparage the important role of those who serve in the US military. It seeks, instead, to balance the message.
