    In the article, the author Paul Krugman’s point of view is very explicit about Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech which I agree with. In the third paragraph, he mentions in his quote about a new nation, that everyone should have the same shot. Unfortunately it is a tough task in term of equality, and to ban segregation. From the past into the present, this nation has made a lot of progress. The African American’s have a great part in the career trade, but the racism issue is still exist. When it comes to paychecks, many African American continue to realize how their paychecks are still on the shorter end compared to Caucasians. 


    More often, the Caucasian’s income is almost double the African American’s. It could simply be by coincidence but in many aspects Caucasians are favored to do higher paying positions over African American’s. I hope in the next hundred years from now, we’ll get another Martin Luther King, because the dream about America being “The new nation” started years ago and has a long way that it still needs to go. We’re still far from the purpose of that dream. It is incredible how one man’s words and acts of non violence started a revolution that lasted for long life. This has to be done.
