"A time comes when silence is betrayal." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On April 4, 1967 - exactly one year before his assassination - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stepped to the pulpit of New York City's Riverside Church and broke from the expectations of his role as a civil rights leader to make a passionate moral plea against the Vietnam War. He argued that the war drained resources from anti-poverty programs, sent young Black men to fight for freedoms they had not found at home, and exposed a deeper spiritual crisis at the heart of American life.
Now published as a beautifully designed hardcover edition with a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen, Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence brings this essential, overlooked speech to a new generation. His words were not addressed to Hanoi - they were addressed to us.
Why this speech still matters today:
This book presents the full text of the speech in an artfully designed format. It is a book to read, to display, to share, and to return to whenever the question arises: When do we speak?
Beyond Vietnam is not a relic of the past. It is a challenge for the present. The choice, as Dr. King said, is still ours.
