If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been alive over this past year, he probably would have been dismayed by the state of race relations. He would undoubtedly see the epidemic of shootings of unarmed black men, the killing of nine church members by a white supremacist and the political rhetoric of intolerance as setbacks.
However, he probably would be pleased by the new wave of protests and activism in the streets and particularly on college campuses in response to these events. In the college campus protests at the University of Missouri, Princeton University and elsewhere the demands have included a call for diversity training for faculty, staff and students.
