King's Dream Is Not Yet Reality, Americans Say In Survey : The Two-Way : NPR: Fewer than half of all Americans say the United States has made substantial progress in treating all races equally, according to a new poll released by the Pew Research Center Thursday. The results were announced days before the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have A Dream" speech on the National Mall.
One of the key questions asked was, "As you may know, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his 'I Have a Dream Speech' at a civil rights march in Washington almost 50 years ago. Overall, how much progress toward Martin Luther King's dream of racial equality do you think the U.S. has made over the last 50 years?"
