What Would Dr King Think - About Today’s Black America

Standing in the shadow of Dr. King’s thirty foot tall image in Washington D.C caused me to ponder the question of what would Dr. King think about Black America today, 46 years after his death? We have an African American President living two miles from his national memorial while there are more Blacks in prison than any other race in the United States. Individuals of all races are marching in protest of unarmed black men dying at the hands of police officers. Protestors carry signs saying “Black Lives Matter” while young Black men kill each other more than any other group in poverty stricken urban areas. What Would Dr. King Think about today’s Black America and what would he want us to do about it?
