We were taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them 8,000 miles away to guarantee liberties in southeast Asia which they had not found in southwest Georgia and east Harlem. So we have been repeatedly faced with the cruel irony of watching negro and white boys on TV screens as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them together in the same schools. -- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. from Beyond Vietnam: A Time To Break Silence, April 4, 1967 https://youtube/watch?v=3Qf6x9_MLD0
