King Still King

Martin Luther King Day is coming up, and the question is being asked again.  Have we reached equality in our country?  If we look back to Dr. Kings time, and what was going on then, we have come a long way as a country.  It was common for people to be beaten, and jailed for their color, and they were forced to learn how to "deal with it" and accept it, as hard as that may seem.  There was seperate everything back then too.  Churches, schools, water fountains etc.  When I look at what is going on today it isn't even comparible to back then.  At least in Chicago there aren't seperate places for blacks and whites.  There is still segregation, and there will always be segregation.  If you look at a certain neighboorhood, or a certain event, there is always a possibility that one race will be the majority there.  That will always happen.  What this country has cut back is brutality and hatred towards other races, and we keep on becoming more and more acceptant of different types of people.
