Martin Luther King defends his views on 1960s talk show

*** The more things change, the more they stay the same. Forty-five years years later, the moral issues being discussed here with Martin Luther King are still relevant today.*** Questions: 1. In his introduction, what two adjectives does Mike Douglas use to describe Martin Luther King? 2. Why does King say that his view on the first question has been distorted? 3. What five adjectives does King use to describe the war in Vietnam? 4. What does King say about black soldiers dying in Vietnam? 5. What is King's view about loyalty to the country? 6. In King's opinion, what would be a good way to get out of the war? (And what historical example does he give?) 7. What is King's view on the role of power? Which type of power does the US need to demonstrate it has? 8. What does King say about 'Caucasian' (white) followers potentially disassociating themselves from his civil rights movements on account of his anti-war views?
