True. A few others come to mind: Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington. All of these men rose to fame and prominence in the face of racism and inequality. All of these gentlemen had America's best interest at heart. That remains to be seen of Dr. King after the FBI releases its secret file on MLK in 2050.

By 2050, immigration will have created a new America, with a different view of what matters in history.

Not to forget Rodney Paige, who is the first black Sec. of Education! At least I think he is, isn't he? Condi Rice of course, the first black National Security Advisor, a female one also!
