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

  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.

Amy, thanks for the heads-up. I apparently missed it, but I think it'll
repeat later this week.
