Martin Luther King: More Than a Dream
July 2, 1964. After a struggle that shaped the life of Reverend Martin Luther King, President Lyndon B. Johnson and then Congress finally banned racial segregation by adopting the Civil Rights Act. A historic breakthrough — at least, on the surface…
For Martin Luther King knew the reality was quite different. While racial justice appeared to have progressed — at least on paper — inequality remained plainly visible. Housing, unemployment: socio-economic hardship continued to blight the country's working-class neighborhoods. King had always been convinced that without social justice, there would never be equality. This was the beginning of his new struggle.
