ahar...@earthlink.net Subject: [PDA Accountability & Justice] MLK: A Call to Conscience
I just saw Tavis Smiley's special tonight on MLK: A Call to Conscience. It was a great program, and I hope you'll watch it, too! It is especially relevant today, with wars going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, at the same time the gap between rich and poor is growing. Those wars have gone on longer than WW II, and the money and lives we're spending in those wars is being diverted from our real needs here at home, with high unemployment (unless you want to fight in a war half way around the world), and growing poverty among people who are losing their jobs, their homes, and their health. Episode 2 - "MLK: A Call to Conscience" . Tavis Smiley Reports . Tavis Smiley | PBS www.pbs.org The second episode of Tavis Smiley Reports examines Martin Luther King, Jr.'s stand against the Vietnam War and the influence of his legacy today. Tavis speaks with scholars and friends of King, including Cornel West, Vincent Harding and Susannah Heschel. The scholars and friends are well chosen. I've long felt that MLK Jr. spoke with a prophetic voice, and his "Beyond Vietnam" speech is as relevant today as when he gave it more than 40 years ago. Again, highly recommended. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PDA Accountability and Justice" group.
