Martin Luther King Jr. died 40 years ago today...on April 4, 1968.
40 years later, although progress has been made and segregation officially shunned, we are still confronting the same problems: a war is on that looks more and more like the Vietnam War (that was ongoing in 1968) and poverty is still knocking at the door of Blacks and now also Latinos.
Segregation is based on the color of the dollar: either you have some, or you don't...
Time to hear the 'I have a dream" speech again: they can kill the dreamer, but not the dream.
