1968191501968. King Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. About the War in Vietnam published 1968 presents a compilation of public addresses delivered during the final year of King's life in which he articulated his opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. King had emerged as the most visible leader of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s and by 1967 he increasingly connected civil rights activism with broader questions of American foreign policy and global justice. In these speeches King framed the war as both a moral and political crisis arguing that the conflict contradicted principles of human rights and diverted resources from domestic efforts to combat poverty and racial inequality. The speeches therefore document the moment when King expanded his public advocacy from civil rights legislation to criticism of American military policy.<br /> <br /> King Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. About the War in Vietnam. New York: Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam 1968. The pamphlet collects three speeches delivered between April 1967 and February 1968: "Vietnam and the Struggle for Human Rights" "The Domestic Impact of the War in Vietnam" and "Vietnam Is Upon Us." In these addresses King explained his decision to speak publicly against the war writing that "my conscience leaves me no other choice." He described the conflict as a "nightmarish conflict" and argued that its consequences extended beyond Southeast Asia emphasizing the social and economic effects of wartime mobilization on American communities. The publication was issued by the organization Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam an interfaith coalition of religious leaders and activists formed in 1965 to oppose the war.<br /> <br /> King's opposition to the Vietnam War generated significant debate within the Civil Rights Movement and American political life. Many supporters of civil rights legislation worried that criticism of U.S. foreign policy might weaken political alliances necessary to advance domestic reform. Nevertheless King continued to link the war to broader questions of global inequality and American political responsibility. The speeches included in this publication were delivered in the months immediately preceding his assassination in April 1968 and therefore represent some of his final public statements on international policy and social justice. Minor foxing present along the margins of the cover; interior text remains clean. Overall condition very good. unknown
1968209491968. King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change: Massey Lectures 1968 presents a series of five lectures delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. for broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1967 offering a concentrated statement of his late career positions on civil rights war and social transformation. Delivered in the final year of his life these lectures address the expanding scope of King's public thought beyond domestic civil rights to include direct criticism of the Vietnam War arguing against its moral and political justification. King articulates the relationship between nonviolent protest and systemic change while also emphasizing the role of youth activism in shaping social movements of the 1960s. The text situates civil rights within a broader critique of militarism and economic inequality marking a significant development in his intellectual trajectory prior to his assassination in 1968.<br /> <br /> King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change: Massey Lectures 1967. Toronto: CBC Publications 1968. First edition second printing. Original paperback binding.<br /> <br /> Issued shortly after the lectures were broadcast this publication preserves King's arguments at a moment when his opposition to the Vietnam War drew both national attention and political controversy reflecting divisions within the civil rights movement and the broader American public. The lectures extend themes present in his contemporaneous speeches including the ethical obligations of democratic societies and the necessity of sustained nonviolent action in the face of institutional injustice. As a printed record of a major international broadcast the work provides evidence of the transnational reach of King's ideas and their reception beyond the United States.

1968209201968. King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change published in 1968 presents a series of lectures delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Toronto during the final year of his life. The lectures form part of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Massey Lectures series and address several central political and moral questions of the late 1960s including the struggle for civil rights in the United States the growing opposition to the Vietnam War the role of youth activism and the philosophy of nonviolent social transformation. Delivered in 1967 and published shortly before King's assassination in April 1968 the lectures provide insight into his evolving political thought during the later phase of the Civil Rights Movement.<br /> <br /> King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change: Massey Lectures 1967. Toronto: CBC Publications 1968. First edition second printing. The volume contains five lectures originally broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in which King examines the moral foundations of nonviolent protest and the broader struggle for racial equality. The lectures also articulate King's increasingly public opposition to the Vietnam War and his criticism of arguments used to justify American military involvement. The text presents King's reflections on the responsibilities of younger generations within social movements and the ethical obligations of democratic societies confronting injustice.<br /> <br /> The Massey Lectures series brought prominent intellectual and political voices to Canadian audiences and King's participation reflected the international significance of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s. By the time these lectures were delivered King had expanded his activism beyond the fight against segregation to include criticism of militarism and economic inequality. The publication therefore captures a late stage in King's intellectual development when his public statements increasingly connected civil rights peace activism and global questions of social justice.
