Day For A King: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s Key April Messages: “Birmingham Jail”, “Beyond Vietnam”

On this Dr. Martin Luther King Jr holiday in the United States, Omar Moore remembers and tributes America’s prophet of peace and justice with two tremendously important contributions from Dr. King, both in the month of April. One, in April 1963 (“Letter From Birmingham Jail”), the other in April 1967 (“Beyond Vietnam: A Time To Break Silence”). Omar reads excerpts from one and plays audio excerpts of the other, and opines on what we must do to move forward toward Dr. King’s pursuit of justice. Also: Concern deepens about the safety and wisdom of an open inauguration in this current violent and terrorist climate in the U.S., particularly with last night’s Associated Press story about defense officials expressing worry about a possible inside attack on the ceremony by National Guard, 25,000 of whom are at the Capitol and most of which are armed. January 18, 2021.
