56th anniversary of his historic A Time to Break Silence speech delivered at Riverside Church in New York City.

April 4, 2022 is the 55th anniversary of Rev. Dr. King’s assassination, and the 56th anniversary of his historic A Time to Break Silence speech delivered at Riverside Church in New York City.

This speech went beyond civil rights to condemn militarism, racism, and extreme materialism, enforced by a culture of violence, as the source of the ills that plague U.S. society. As war rages on, we continue to organize against the ever-more-increasing militarization of our society.

Join the national call on April 4th or consider hosting your own reading of the speech in your community or congregation.
