If Bush Is Right, Martin Luther King Jr. Was Wrong"–Activist Rev. Peter Johnson Speaks at Camp Casey (2005)

We play a speech by longtime activist and former SCLC staffer, the Rev. Peter Johnson who says, "War is not the answer. Only love can conquer hate. If Bush is right, then Marvin [Gaye] was wrong.
