In your kick-off speech you are going to address the following issues:

  • Describe how planned obsolescence works and why the economy seems to need it
  • Outline how we can can teach people in our throw-away society to think in a more sustainable way
  • What we can do to make people aware of this topic

John Lewis represents the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in his speech demanding protecting voting rights of African Americans, “One man, one vote is Africa’s cry and it is our cry.” The March is an international event, spawning sympathy marches around the world. On the eve of the march, pioneering civil rights leader W. E. B. Bu Bois dies at his home in Ghana.

1967 April 4: King speaks out against the war in Vietnam addressing a crowd of 3,000 people in Riverside Church in New York City. In his speech entitled “Beyond Vietnam” King argued that the war effort was "taking the young black men who have been crippled by our society and sending them 8,000 miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia which they had not found in southwest Georgia and East Harlem." Two weeks later, he and other activists lead thousands of demonstrators on an anti-war march to the United Nations.
