On Monday, the country celebrated the life and legacy of civil rights hero Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. King had a dream that all people were created equal — the core tenets of the Declaration of Independence. He thought individuals should be judged on their character and not their race. He envisioned a world that allowed black and white people to live together in peaceful unity.

His vision ultimately cost him his life. Yet, despite his sacrifice, Democrats in the 21st century have shattered King’s dream.
