DESCRIPTION:Saturday, February 26  PAUL GEORGE SPEAKING ON MARTIN LUTHER KING - Redwood 
 City  7:30 p.m.  Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwood City  2124 
 Brewster   In the mid-1960's, Martin Luther King was routinely questioned 
 and criticized for  going "beyond" his civil rights agenda by speaking out 
 against the Vietnam War. He  answered his critics in what became one of his 
 most famous and most powerful  speeches: "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break 
 Silence," delivered to a meeting of  Clergy and Laity Concerned, at 
 Riverside Church in New York City on April 4, 1967.  In this talk, Paul 
 George will examine the importance of Dr. King's groundbreaking  speech, 
 provide a brief history of the Vietnam antiwar movement and the lessons 
 that  we need to learn from that history for our current situation, as our 
 country finds  itself yet again bogged down in an illegal, immoral and 
 unwinnable war in a foreign  land. As Dr. King said in his speech, "The 
 great initiative in this war is ours. The  initiative to stop it must be 
 ours."  George has been a grassroots peace activist and organizer for over 
 35 years. He has  been the director of the Peninsula's leading activist 
 organization, Peninsula Peace  and Justice Center, for well over a decade. 
 He has been a nationally recognized  leader of the antiwar movement dating 
 to the time of the first Gulf war, continuing  through the period of deadly 
 sanctions against Iraq, up to the present time. He  lectures frequently at 
 colleges, churches and community groups, and has made  numerous television 
 and radio appearances speaking out against US wars of  intervention.  
 Sponsored by the Social Justice Committee of UU Redwood City as part of 
 Redwood  City's 2-month long celebration of the life of Martin Luther 
 King.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/02/24/58783.php
