MLK Jr. / Love Thread

[CRedskinsRule]

MLK set the standard for where Civil Rights movement could have gone. His assassination was a huge frickin detour on the road to a true United States, and I think we are seeing the fruits of it to this day. I know I don't speak for the millions who have been repressed, abused, tortured or even simply held back due to the color of their skin, but the dream of a society that sees people solely on the basis of their abilities and character without regard to unchangeable factors, seems as far away today as at any point in our history.
