No Vietnamese Ever Called Me Nigger
This film documents a conversation between three black Vietnam War veterans intercut with footage of the Spring Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam, held in New York on April 15, 1967, just over a week after Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence” was delivered at Riverside Church, New York, on April 4, 1967. “We were taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them eight thousand miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia which they had not found in southwest Georgia and East Harlem”.
