SUMMARY:MLK 55 Years Later — Can the Church Study War No More?
DESCRIPTION:\nRe-examining the links between militarism and racism \n\n\n\
 nCan the Church “study war no more”?&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nJoin us virtually o
 r in person on April 2nd to mark the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King
 ’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech in the place where he delivered it 55 yea
 rs ago – the historic Riverside Church.\n\n\n\nAt a time when the justne
 ss and necessity of the Vietnam War was still broadly accepted\, Dr. King 
 issued a stirring rebuke to the U.S. establishment\, naming his own govern
 ment as “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.”&nbsp\;\n\n\n
 \nWe’ll be joined by Bernice King to explore the connections that her fa
 ther made in that historic speech between the three evils—militarism\, r
 acism and materialism—and their impact on Black lives a half century lat
 er. With the Quincy Institute President Andrew Bacevich\, Dream Defenders 
 founder Phil Agnew\, and Rev. Traci Blackmon\, and moderated by Pastor Mic
 hael McBride\, director of the LiveFree campaign\, we will examine the roa
 d from Iraq to Ferguson to Ukraine and talk about how the Church and the A
 merican people can overcome the forces of war and violence to build a more
  peaceful and just nation and planet.\n\n\n\nFeaturing\n\n\n\n• Music by
  Common Hymnal• An inspiring reading of the “Beyond Vietnam” speech 
 by national faith leaders and activists• A conversation with leading voi
 ces from the American church and anti-militarism movements on forging a ne
 w path.\n\n\n\nWatch the Video\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/FQbvw_quWEM\n\n
