Every January 15th, America celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Decades after his death, he remains an icon for civil rights not just in the United States, but across the world.
Considering all that has happened in our country since his assassination nearly fifty years ago, I feel like I have ask what he would think of America in 2018?
I think he would be immensely proud that Barack Obama sat in the Oval Office for eight years. I also think he would be thrilled to see the leaps and bounds made by Americans of color since 1968. I also think he would be angered and still marching when the murders of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner made headlines across the country.
While we still have a long way to go in terms of true equality, we would not be as far along as we are without Martin Luther King Jr.
Wherever you are, sir, RIP and thank you. Your courage helped to create the America we see today.
