Geee Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Investors Business Daily: If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, he'd cheer the great strides African-Americans have made since his 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. So why are his heirs so angry? Hearing their down-in-the-mouth speeches commemorating the 50th anniversary of the march on Washington, you'd think there'd been little progress in equality and living standards for blacks. Last Saturday's celebration quickly turned into a grievance-fest. "This is not the time for nostalgic commemoration," groused Martin Luther King III, the oldest son of the slain civil-rights leader. "Nor is this the time for self-congratulatory celebration. The task is not done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
