Will Dr. King’s ‘dream’ ever become a ‘reality’?

Dear Editor: In this day and age, where technology is advancing at an exponential pace, where more and more people are obtaining higher degrees of education and where the media bombards the public with news regarding discrimination, it is amazing and appalling to know that racial, ethnic, religious, gender, and other biases are still in existence. It is true that today’s world is more tolerant than in the days of Dr. Martin Luther King, but his “dream” of having his four children living in a nation that will judge them not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, has not been realized. And not only is it the color of one’s skin, but also one’s ethnicity, religion, gender and other beliefs that are being discriminated against: at work, in schools, in politics, and in society in general. When will the day come where all of God’s children are judged by who they are, and not what they are? Javier E. Inclan Councilman, Guttenberg
