45 years later,M.L. King's speech still relevant

I am listening to a radio special about Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, and they just replayed his "I have a dream" speech. Still sends shivers up and down my spine. But alas, it seems the more things change, the more they stay the same. Bigotry is still alive and flourishing in the good old USA. And the powers that be are encouraging it.

1. True. That's because his speech was based on universal

principles. Speeches by Socrates are over 2,000 year old and are also still relevant.
