In honor of a great man and his birthday we present the speech they should’ve told you about in school. Oh yes, I say it plain: this is “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break the Silence.” “And we are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.”
Originally delivered at the Riverside Church, New York, New York, on April 4, 1967.
Thank you so for posting this today. And yes, this reality is with us today. Do we still have time? I pray so. will forward this to the teachers at my school. Hope others will do so as well.
