How far are we from MLK's dream?

The Horse @TheHorse (238279) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Jan 16

Martin Luther King was one of my idols as a child. Every MLK Day, I watch his I Have a Dream speech speech and ponder how for we've come, and how far we have to go. There's no more Jim Crow. It's illegal to discriminate based on...

If you've never seen Return of the King, watch it here to catch up..... http://youtu.be/13eSVr9S7YE I was surprised to learn (well, maybe I shouldn't really) that many were outraged and even protested against Aaron McGruder...

A Martin Luther King moment?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 19 Feb 11

Kareng @kareng (80243) • United States 19 Jan 09

Some people had the day off work for MLK's birthday today. How did you celebrate? As for me I was just happy to have the day off work. I didn't go anywhere, just hung around the house. I did get a little housework done that I put...

What are you going to do for Martin Luther King day?

roc1818 @roc1818 (57) • United States 18 Jan 09

Personally I will be reflecting on Martin Luther King's legacy. I will watch some documentaries on him, meet up with friends and talk about how Obama becoming president further realizes MLK's "dream".
