MLK also addressed how the U.S. government perpetuated violence in the Vietnam War and is a purveyor of violence. Dr. Amy Butler, Senior Minister of Harlem's Riverside Church spoke about Dr. King’s concerns about young Black men being sent to Vietnam to perpetrate violence in the name of the U.S. government and then returning home to become victims of violence and racism in America.
