How Is Martin Luther King, Jr’s Dream Doing Today?
52 years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr uttered those famous words: “I have a dream.”
King shared a dream that we would be judged each other by the content of our character rather than the color of their skin. Today, social media users shared their thoughts on how we’re doing advancing this dream.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it. – Martin Luther King Jr.

I wanted to see how people thought we were doing. Was America making his dream a reality? So, I asked:
Today is the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr's #IHaveADream speech. How are we doing?

@AmeliaHammy @DLoesch Great tweet! I thought I was the only one that knew. He's looking down from heaven with a sad face I imagine.
