Tavis Smiley Looking For Personal Stories/Memorabilia From MLK's
   1967 Riverside Speech For PBS Primetime Special
   Dec 27, 2009 - 7:04:45 AM

   Second Tavis Smiley Reports To Focus On Dr. Martin Luther King
   Jr.'s "Beyond Vietnam: A Time To Break Silence" Speech

   Submit Info at
   www.tavistalks.com/dr-martin-luther-king-jr-beyond-vietnam

   PBS host Tavis Smiley is looking for personal stories, photos
   and/or news articles relating to Martin Luther King Jr.'s
   historic speech "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence" in
   connection with TAVIS SMILEY REPORTS, a series of four hour-long
   PBS primetime specials to air throughout 2010.

   Anyone with personal experiences, eyewitness accounts or
   articles of interest can visit
   www.tavistalks.com/dr-martin-luther-king-jr-beyond-vietnam to
   submit their information no later than January 29, 2010.

   Submissions are being solicited for the second TAVIS SMILEY
   REPORTS, to premiere Wednesday, March 31, 2010, at 8:00 p.m.
   ET/PT on PBS, which will delve into Dr. King's "Beyond Vietnam:
   A Time to Break Silence" speech. Dr. King delivered the speech
   on April 4, 1967, at Riverside Church in New York City, exactly
   one-year prior to the date of his assassination. It is
   considered pivotal but often under-appreciated in that King
   challenged the morality of the Vietnam conflict and urged a
   national discussion about the role of America in the world.
   Smiley will examine the context of Dr. King's words on liberty,
   responsibility and freedom against the backdrop of the fight for
   civil rights and an increasingly unpopular war, and examine the
   implications of his words today, particularly in light of
   President Obama's decision to increase U.S. troops in
   Afghanistan.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
