On Saturday, January 17, people stood in front of the Lockheed Martin complex in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania as the voice of Dr. King echoed over the area behind the King of Prussia Mall with the sound of excepts of his sermons and speeches. There was also bell-tolling, peace songs by Tom Mullian, a litany drawn from Dr. King’s 1964 Nobel Peace Prize speech with the response: Lives Matter, Damn Their War Profits…Wage Justice, Wage Peace.
Five people were then arrested blocking the main driveway entrance to the King of Prussia complex of the world’s #1 war profiteer. The nonviolent resisters – Theresa Camerota and Tom Mullian, both of Wyncote, Pennsylvania; Paul Sheldon, of Media, Pennsylvania; Fr. Patrick Sieber and Robert M. Smith, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – were cited for Disorderly Conduct by the Upper Merion police and released.
