Along the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War was on everyone’s mind and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was against it. In a church in New York, he had in a speech said “This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love,” he warned. “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” (Jilani, 2018). The issue was that the NAACP had warned Dr. King not to oppose the war due to the fact that the President had been on their side in regard to civil rights and opposing the foreign policy and war could mean that they lose the president and black activist relations.
