In this country we learn very slowly from history, if at all.
It has been suggested that if Jesus returned to earth he would again be crucified. And almost surely at the front of the line with hammer and nails would be the many "Christians" who most aggressively - and falsely - invoke his name to sell their ideological products.
Much the same is unfortunately true of Martin Luther King. If he returned - after reminding us of the yet to be fulfilled dream he would head straight for Riverside Church in New York City where once again his conscience would leave him no choice but to say:
"Now, it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of America today can ignore the present war."
Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose.
