In West Virginia, Rockwool, a factory that produces insulation, is polluting the air and water, causing cancer and asthma, and stands atop an historic African American burial ground with its billowing 21story smoke stacks within blocks of four schools and two daycares. Rockwool, also, still has four factories operating in Russia in contravention of the current sanctions. And Joe Manchin knows all about Rockwool, yet is silent.

Longtime activists Stewart Acuff, Ruth Hatcher, scientist Dr. Catherine Jozwick, apiarist (bee farmer) Jennifer King and cattle farmer Susannah Buckles tell the Rockwool story while on the Poor People's Campaign Moral March on West Virginia.

Those were the compelling words used by the Rev. Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Chief of Staff, to describe Dr. King's speech, "Beyond Vietnam: A Time To Break Silence," April 4, 1967 at the Riverside Church in New York--one year to the day before Dr. King's crucifixion.

Red Letter Christians organized clergy, including Rev. Mark, and activists to read "Beyond Vietnam" at Riverside 55 years later, in a moving tribute to MLK to commemorate his martyrdom, and in consideration of his unfinished work today.
