    Selected by the asker, Shay. (What's this?)

    Do you agree or disagree with what he said?
    Why do you agree or disagree?

    Do you believe that his dreams have come to pass, in the way blacks are treated now or not? Have some areas improved or not? Is there room for any more improvement?

    According to his writing...do you think that MLK would agree or disagree that in some ways the stereotypical thoughts, behaviors and treatments of people have switched places? Do some or all Blacks now think, feel and attempt to treat WHITES the way they were treated during Mr. King's time?

    According to his words...what do you believe that Mr. King would say or feel about young Black people today? Why do you believe he would have strong feelings about the way some young black men and women conduct themselves...if you do.

    Are his thoughts relevant in today's world? Are they relevant to all people of any color? Why?

    Does he use any speaking points that you would feel strongly need to be said today?


    Dang, what a great letter, I haven't read this for years.....so worth reading again!
