Martin Luther King

Fortunately, Martin Luther King died at the right time, writes author Bill Caldwell. 

At Riverside Church in New York, civil rights advocate Martin Luther King gave this speech 4. April, 50 years ago, where he clearly distanced himself from the Vietnam War. The speech was aimed at the Americans himself, causing him to lose the FBI guard he had received after many killings. On the day one year later he was shot and killed. The speech, translated by John Y. Jones, is greatly abbreviated here.
