Unwittingly, Senator Hillary Clinton undermined the struggle of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King when she said that King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Her comments were taken by many as a suggestion that the real change that came not through King but through a Washington politician. Still we have a long way to go to achieve King's dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
