Martin Luther King, Jr. in The Vietnam War
Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968) was the young pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama who rose to prominence during the Civil Rights Movement. He remains to this day a symbol of the non-violent struggle against segregation.
On April 15th, 1967, King led thousands of demonstrators to the United Nations building in New York where the civil rights leader delivered a speech attacking U.S. foreign policy in Vietnam. Over 100,000 people attended the rally.
