Black American civil rights leader Martin Luther King addresses crowds during the March on Washington at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC.

Its been more than half a century since Doctor Martin Luther King Junior was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. Perhaps the most iconic African American figure in modern history, Doctor King had a dream.

King is revered for advancing civil rights and equality for blacks through nonviolence and civil disobedience.

But with a quick look at the state of the affairs in the US, its easy to realize that Martin Luther Kings dream has still not turned into reality.
