The Recent Statement Of Your Executive Committee

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The recent statement of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart and i found myself in full accord when i read its opening lines: "a time comes when silence is betrayal." that time has come for us in relation to vietnam. some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. we must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
