At the grand opening of the Church of Scientology Atlanta earlier this year, I found the speech by Rev. Dr. James Milner particularly moving, especially when he described marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“My thirst for freedom is born from these experiences,” he said.
“Drugs are the almighty oppressor today. They cause people to lose their humanity. Then addiction leads to deprivation, which brings about desperation. The crime rate goes up. The educational levels drop and the family structure is torn apart. So, we have an obligation as a society to underwrite the freedom of those afflicted. This foul sickness is turning our society inside out, and we have a responsibility to fight it.”
Rev. Milner uses the drug education and prevention initiative supported by the Church of Scientology and explains why in this video.
