DESCRIPTION:Wednesday January 14\n7 PM\nCommunity reading of Dr. Martin Luther King's 
 Riverside Church speech of April 4, 1967 "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break 
 Silence" at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 2672 E. Alluvial Ave. 
 Clovis, CA 93611 (Between Chestnut and Willow).\n\nCo-sponsored by the 
 Interfaith Social Justice Collaborative, Unitarian Universalist Church of 
 Fresno and the UU Social Justice Coordinating Committee Remembering Dr. 
 King as the Revolutionary Humanitarian He Was "A genuine revolution of 
 values means in the final analysis that our loyalties must become 
 ecumenical rather than sectional. Every nation must now develop an 
 overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in 
 their individual societies"  ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr ~ \n\n"Nearly 
 forty one years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King gave his speech "Beyond 
 Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence." It was April 4, 1967, a year to the day 
 before he was murdered. He was speaking at the Riverside Church in New 
 York. King billed the speech as a ‘declaration of independence from the 
 war' and called the United States ‘the greatest purveyor of violence in 
 the world today.' Time magazine called the speech ‘demagogic slander that 
 sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi.' And the Washington Post declared 
 that King had ‘diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country, his 
 people.'" ~ Juan Williams ~\n\nAs a new President and new Congress take 
 office in January 2009, we have an unprecedented opportunity to come 
 together to reflect on our history and our future.  We invite the community 
 to join in reading and discussing this remarkable and challenging speech, 
 and to affirm our commitment to work together to realize  Dr. King's 
 vision.  More information: Connie Young at cyoungrn@sbcglobal.net  or the 
 Unitarian Universalist Church.  Child care: Please call the church by 
 Wednesday, January 7, 2009 to request child care.\n\n
