reading mlk's april 4 speech
friends, veterans for peace and united for peace and justice (ufpj) are promoting the reading of martin luther king jr's speech, "beyond vietnam" that he gave at riverside church one day to the year before he was killed. many believe it was his most powerful and certainly his most politically daring speech ever.
i have another thing i'm organizing that same day (a picket to welcome the governor in sandusky when he gives his state of the state message) so i don't think i can pull all the pieces together on this, but i'd love to participate and read the section where he says the u.s. is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.
anybody interested? interested in pulling it together, in reading, in getting others to read and to be there for it? government center over lunch hour would be a good place. it could be done inside (just can't have banners inside, but those could be outside. or with a decent sound system the whole thing could be outside).

“We Americans are not usually thought to be a submissive people, but we are. Why else would we allow our country to be destroyed? Why else would we be rewarding its destroyers?...Most of us are still too sane to piss in our own cistern, but we allow others to do so and we reward them for it. We reward them so well, in fact, that those who piss in our cistern are wealthier than the rest of us. How do we submit? By not being radical enough. Or by not being thorough enough, which is the same thing.” --Wendell Berry
