Martin Luther King Jr. was an advocate for the rights of blacks and the poor. He felt that people should be judged by their character instead of by their skin color or bank account. It is now more than 40 years, since he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington D.C., but his legacy still influences millions of people each year.
Questions to Ponder
Is Black America living up to Martin Luther King Jr's dream, or are they failing to bring the vision to life?
Is poverty in the US increasing, or is America still the land of milk and honey?
What would Martin Luther King think of his dream at this point in American history?
Why is there such a large population of blacks in America, who are behind bars?
Is affirmative action necessary to help blacks in America succeed?
