Read More »A different discord was present at the time of Dr. King’s death. A discord that was just as destructive, divisive and deadly. The fight for racial equality was being led by Dr. King and others. The seeds of a second divisive issue were sowed as people began to question our involvement in the Vietnam War. Both issues that surfaced in violent conflict were homegrown issues rightly brought to the forefront by our own social circumstance. The immorality of our involvement in the Vietnam War was most vividly demonstrated by the self-immolation of Buddhist monks in Vietnam. I only recently discovered that the monks viewed this as an act of compassion, an act of peace, not an act of violence. It was a dramatic way to be heard that the Vietnamese wanted peace not war; that the war was being fueled by others at their expense and fought on their homeland. Thich Nhat Hahn wrote Dr. King in 1965 that “some of us in Vietnam had immolated ourselves in protest against the war. I explained that it was not an act of suicide, or of despair; it was an act of love.” Dr. King and Thich Nhat Hahn were both members of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, an organization devoted to finding peaceful solutions to problems. A year before Dr. King’s death he joined Thich Nhat Hahn in demanding an end to the war in Vietnam. The war in Vietnam ended and there has been peace there for many years. It seemed like we made strides in equality for all in our country until recent years. I think it important to go back to those words of Dr. King, “Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God.” This is the opinion of Peter Donohue, who has been involved in the arts in Central Minnesota for more than 35 years. His column is published the third Tuesday of the month.
