Politics
As Dr. King would celebrate his 82nd birthday, he would be delighted to meet with the 82nd Attorney General, Eric Holder, as the first African American Attorney General. He would be pleased to meet with President Barack Obama, the first African American president. He would believe that both are a fulfillment of his dream but not the fulfillment of his dream.
He would be extremely troubled at the lack of civility in the political process and the warring of words in the media spewing hate and racism.
Optimism
Dr. King would still be optimistic about our country's future. He would never think our glory days are behind us. He would still believe that we as a people would reach the Promised Land. And he would say from what he endured in his life time that despite high unemployment and foreclosure rates, we will overcome. And he would truly say to America"Keep the Faith.
