Rob:  Martin Luther King’s dream of a society where people are judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin says much about who we are as a nation.  Yet race remains a divisive issue in America.  While as a country we have made great strides since an assassin’s bullet took Dr. King’s life forty years ago, we are far from the promise land Dr. King dreamt of.  Even if by some magical stroke, Americans of all races could awake tomorrow knowing and loving each other, our world would still not be equal.  Whites would still enjoy privilege, while blacks would still suffer disadvantage.  On average, a black college graduate earns significantly less than their white counterpart; and in terms of total accumulated wealth, the worth of the average white family is ten times that of the average black family.  It’s naive to believe after three hundred years of slavery, and then segregation, that even in a completely colorblind society everything suddenly becomes equal.  In some of Dr. King’s very last words written to white America he said; “the majority of Americans are suspended between opposing attitudes.  They are uneasy with injustice, but unwilling yet, to pay a significant price to eradicate it.”  An observation, by Dr. King, that is still relevant 40 years later.  I’m Rob McClendon.  Thanks for watching.  See you soon.
