This is a few days old and many of you may have seen it circulated on Facebook
and elsewhere, but thought this was worth posting here. Thanks to Dr. Harding
for his life of service. This NYT piece notes his Mennonite connections. He
apparently was a Mennonite lay pastor in Chicago and went as a church
representative to observe race relations in the south in the 50s where he met
and became an associate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And he was the author of
Dr. King's famous speech opposing the Vietnam war. AngelaVincent Harding, 82,
Civil Rights Author and Associate of Dr. King, DiesDr. Harding was a historian,
author and activist who wrote one of the most polarizing speeches ever given by
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in which Dr. King expressed ardent
opposition to the Vietnam
War.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/22/us/vincent-harding-civil-rights-author-and-associate-of-dr-king-dies-at-82.html
