Over the next few days, the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will be covered at length. His most famous moment of course remains his triumphant "I Have A Dream" speech given at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. His "Mountaintop" speech given on the eve of his death is another often talked about. Both rightly have their place not only in Civil Rights and American history, but in the entire history of mankind.

However, in my opinion, the greatest of all of Dr. King's messages was the one that he gave at Ebenezer Baptist Church on April 30, 1967. His stance that day against the Vietnam War and his rightful joining of that struggle with the anti-poverty and Civil Rights movements was a mighty message. It was a three-pronged message and movement that had to be snuffed out before it gathered momentum.

Sadly within a year, it was.
