At a recent economic summit hosted by the Rainbow Push Coalition, a fatigued Jesse Jackson hobbled toward the door of a room where a panel discussion was about to take place. He stopped to look at finely dressed black men rubbing elbows. A slight look of disgust flashed across his face. It makes one wonder, what would Martin Luther King Jr. think about our country today?
What would King think about spending money to rent the 53rd Street Sheraton for the purpose of discussing how poor the majority of our citizens are?
What would King think about the fact that there are more social programs for former inmates of prisons than there are for children?
What would King think about President Obama’s concept of just wars?
What would King think about a memorial being built in his honor at the same time that the homeless are living in tent cities?
What would King think about New York City having a 28% illiteracy rate?
What would King think about a 40% unemployment rate among black men?
