Poll Shows Racial Divide in Assessing Equality

In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shared his vision of America’s future, uttering one of the most oft-quoted statements about racial equality in the nation’s history: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

More than 50 years later, slightly more than half of Americans say they believe that dream has been realized – but fully seven in ten African-Americans believe that we aren’t there yet, according to a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll. CONT.
