Given the state of the nation, what would you say to the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., on his birthday this year?

We’ve made some real progress toward making your dream a reality. We’re still working on your Poor People’s Campaign.
 Rev. Ray Hammond
Pastor
Bethel A.M.E. Church
What’s up, [fellow Morehouse College] alum? We have to step up our game. Much unfinished business.
 DeVonn Baker

I was at your Lincoln Memorial speech!
 Wendy Landman

Your work, your speeches have done a lot to the [betterment] of the world and all of its communities. As we stand here today on your birthday and the eve of the inauguration of our first African American president of the United States, we are being blessed.
 Angela Yarde
Director
District Office of City Counselor Chuck Turner
Congratulations on the job you’ve done. The speech … [that] you brought forward, that’s now manifested itself and pushed us forward. We’re experiencing our first black presidency on the reality of the dream you have presented.
 Rev. Vernard Coulter
Administrative Coordinator
University of Massachusetts-Boston
Thank you. He was right on two fronts: one, the war [in Vietnam], and two, the next civil rights issue: economic sustainability. So right, so early, so often.
