ANALYSIS: Martin Luther King Jr set American democracy a test it's still struggling to meet
Martin Luther King Jr set American democracy a test it is still struggling to meet.abc.net.au/news/martin-luther-king-jr-day-democracy-struggling-greatest-test/101852316I went to see the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr, to pause and pray at the statue of the greatest American.
In his lifetime, King was not the revered figure he is today. He was jailed. He was tracked by the FBI. He had the dogs set upon him. Even among other black Americans he was not universally loved. A young generation was impatient with his message of non-violence and love. King himself wondered if they were not right.
Of course, King championed a glorious and incurable colour blindness. He believed in the universality and Christian peoplehood of all, but never lost sight of the struggle for black rights.
