If Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had not been killed in 1968 and instead were still alive today, he'd be 82 years old. It's a safe bet he wouldn't be particularly active at that age, but what about the decades between?
Would we have elected him POTUS?
Would the busing riots have been avoided?
After Vietnam, what issues would he have addressed beyond civil rights?
If he ran for Pres he would have been "uncle tommed". He was a Republican, so the liberals would have turned on him if ran on the GOP ticket.
I don't know enough about the bus riots.
After Vietnam, he may have done more for the returning Vets. Being a devoute christian, I don't think he would have done much for gays. But I think inner city shools would be better places to learn than they are now.
If I was a person of strong faith; I'd put King in the Prophet column.
