Dreamer and prophet: how Dr. King's words still motivate, remain even more relevant...

The Dreamer On this, the 54th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, it is time, again, to remember the impact his life has had on the world. Dr. King was as much a leader during his brief time on earth as the presidents and legislators of his era. Unlike them, he was not afforded the luxury of an office or the power of government. His commitment to change was rooted in his constituency as the leader of the oppressed. He marched for freedom on the streets of an America awash in self-satisfied hypocrisies, the greatest of which was its belief that the freedom it promised at its founding had limits. The boundless opportunity that mid-century America was experiencing was not shared equally by an underclass, the plight of whom was the life’s work of King.
