When I think of MLK Jr. I know deep down that Trump will never prevail.

(53,410 posts)Hes one of my great American heroes. When he was alive he made me feel so proud to be an American. He was a huge influence in molding my views of justice and equality. I was a teenager when he was alive, and a big part of my world fell down when he was assassinated.

(53,410 posts)all I have to do is think about the immense burden he and his small group of activists took on and how their commitment changed this country. And they did it at a time when White Supremacy was entrenched solidly into our lives.
Trump is nothing more than the personification of the dregs, the left-over scum, of that time in our history. MLK Jr. would tell us we can and will defeat everything in this country that Trump personifies.
