On the 30th anniversary of Dr. King's death, this issue begins with his anti-militarist speech The Trumpet of Conscience , and then offers us the voices of numerous anti-militarists of color. Meet Alan Nelson, Vietnam veteran turned peace activist, bringing together the oppressed youth of Okinawa and Camden, New Jersey; Michael Simmons, who faced racism in the peace movement even as he was also struggling against genocide; Kenn Dixon and Michaela Purdue, both of whom tell us what it means to be "Young, Black, and In the Military."
