What Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. might think of America today: Were Martin Luther King alive in 2020 to celebrate his 91st birthday, what would he have to say about his nation’s contentious racial landscape?
America is a far different place from the nation that saw King felled by an assassin’s bullet in 1968 at the young age of 39.
The United States has seen an African American serve two terms as president — something King likely thought even his children would never see.
Blacks have served at the top levels of the Cabinet, on the Supreme Court, in the halls of Congress, as state governors. Indeed, race is no longer any barrier not just to the ballot box, but to elective office.
