Features on Disc 3 include abridged recordings of Martin Luther King Jr.'s April 4, 1967 speech at Riverside Church in New York City, Beyond Vietnam: a time to break silence and Lyndon B. Johnson's March 31, 1968 speech in which he announces he will not seek re-election as president of the United States
