Martin Luther King, Jr. killed forty years ago today spoke truth to power about America's "spiritual death" from its war mongering

In, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech against war he rebukes his own government of the United States. Would that we Americans had learned his lessons. He, indeed, is a prophet, largely ignored, and killed forty years ago today on April 4, 1968. Often sentimentalized in politically correct ways while ignoring his deeper beliefs, values, and messages.

The video only lasts about 2 1/2 minutes. It sends chills up my spin to listen to him and watch this video.

"A country who, year after year, spends more on its military defense than on programs of social uplift, is approaching its spirtual death." Wow. Literally brought tears to my eyes.
