In this special Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend episode of Security Dilemma, A.J. Manuzzi and John Gay discuss the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize recipient's most famous foreign policy speech, "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence" (1967), in which Dr. King explains why he must speak out against the Vietnam War and why America needs a "revolution of values" to defeat the three interconnected perils of racism, militarism, and poverty. Listeners can read (https://www2.hawaii.edu/~freeman/courses/phil100/17.%20MLK%20Beyond%20Vietnam.pdf) and listen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJhgXKGldUk) to the full speech online.

Additionally, the Society’s ⁠Strategic Leaders Fellowship⁠ is currently accepting applications through January 19th.  In this program for mid-career foreign policy professionals, Strategic Leaders Fellows take part in private salon dinners with experts discussing topics like grand strategy, nuclear weapons, power projection, and European security, and participate in a day-long crisis simulation. The fellowship’s culmination is a trip to France and Belgium for an in-depth study of the First World War – its origins, conduct, and termination, and a closer look at the United States in the war. It’s a terrific, one of a kind program for any mid-career personnel interested in deepening their knowledge in grand strategy while connecting with likeminded professional peers.
