It also seems ironic, that by an Executive Order signed by President Trump shortly after his swearing in, he may have granted one of MLK's wishes.
In a Civil Rights speech delivered by Dr. King in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963, he is quoted as saying the following;
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
President Donald J Trump is quite possibly making Kings dream a reality through one of his first Executive Orders that he enacted. President Trump suspended immediately all DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) in the Federal Government. This is part of President Trump's campaign pledge to return common sense to the US Government. All Federal DEI offices and employees were furloughed as of 5:00PM on January 22, 2025
This will probably turn out to be a hot button issue for the Trump Administration, but anyone who has taken a breath in the past ten years will know that President Trump does not shy away from his principles or character.
It is encouraging that we will now get back to hiring and promoting employees on the Federal Level based upon their character and merit, rather than by race, gender or sexual preference or identity. All as Dr King wished in 1963.
Happy Birthday Doctor King.
