Not everyone was pleased by the strides that Black America has made in the 50 years since the March on Washington. Former Rep. Joe Walsh published his “dream” for Black America which read more like a tirade.
Here’s an excerpt from his rant:

Yesterday, President Obama was asked by morning radio host Tom Joyner what King would think of Obamacare.

I think Dr. King would cry.â€
