The power couple report on the changes Martin Luther King Jr. would see today that challenges his goal of non-violent protest.
Unfortunately, there are still difficulties in America, and Reverend King’s dream has not become real for all.
Instead of invoking and upholding our founding and history to secure liberty and justice for all, some would denigrate our founding and rewrite our history to divide and fracture our union. Instead of peacefully marching on Washington to have their voices heard, they would ransack our cities and attack our police. Instead of calling for equal treatment for all Americans, they would call for special treatment for some and punishment for many.
Fortunately, we know that the American people strongly prefer Reverend King’s ideas of nonviolence, nondiscrimination, and optimism about the future.
