We As A People Will Get To The Promised Land

Martin Luther King, Jr said this on the day I turned 5 — and the night before a lunatic assassinated him:

We as a people will get to the promised land. I’d like to interpret that to mean Americans as a people will get there together, and only when all of us have arrived has anyone arrived. We are a lot closer than we were 40 years ago when Dr. King gave this eerily prophetic speech. When we do arrive, we have to ensure that we stay there, too.
