The words from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s immortal “I Have A Dream” speech are far from realized in the predominately racially segregated Greek system at the University of Alabama. Unless new leadership at the University dares confront the powerful Greek system yet another year will pass before King’s vision of equality is fulfilled.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification” — one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
