A very good but little-known late speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. "The Other America" was delivered at Stanford University (California) on April 14,1967--10 days after his great (and somewhat better-known) speech, "Beyond Vietnam."
Here King goes beyond mere "civil rights" and speaks forcefully on the larger issues of growing economic inequality and an out-of-control Military-Industrial Complex.
The somewhat condensed audio recording was produced in 2008 for the radio program, "DC37 Radio"--apparently the predecessor of the "Building Bridges" show. Thanks to producer Ken Nash.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "What, me worry?") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
