Martin Luther King at Santa Rita prison (1968)

After Joan Baez, her mother, and Ira Sandperl were incarcerated at Santa Rita prison in California after an anti-war demonstration at the Oakland induction center, Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Santa Rita and spoke first to the imprisoned activists and then the supporters and activists outside. This is a recording of the public speech recorded on January 14, 1968. King delivers a speech, explains his support of the anti-war activists, and takes questions from the press.

Dr King did SO MUCH in a life tragically cut short! His Birthday needs to be celebrated; without all the commercialization...

He was spitting that fire. When he started criticizing Vietnam the ruling class pulled the plug. Long live comrade King.

it’s amazing how he speaks.
he speaks in such a general way, that is still so specific to exactly what is going on at the time (the Vietnam War). Everything he says can be applied to Palestine, Congo, Sudan. As someone who has been actively protesting, seeing our current leaders of the movements be detained, having police forces constantly trying to INTIMIDATE AND SILENCE us, every word Martin Luther King Jr. utters hits me in my soul, my mind, and my body. We will fight another day, we will fight until the end of oppression in Palestine, in Congo, in Sudan, in the US. We will fight until justice and peace rain down on all people, the storm that is brewing right now across nations. We must make MLK, a civil rights leader, a non violence advocate, a holistically inclusive individual PROUD. We must take pride in our views, and in one another, because we (the people, the animals, the plants) are all we have ever genuinely had.

MLK had such a talent for oration and communicating revolutionary ideas in a compelling way
