  1. Everything King spoke about at that event has gone down the toilet thanks to Democrats and their woke agendas. Someday,hopefully, blacks will wake up and realise the Democrats are not their friends.

  2. If Martin Luther King II was still alive today, at 94 years old, he would have told his famous speech for the 2nd time. Happy 60th Anniversary.

  3. Yea the black community advanced with MLK but now they are back in slavery on the Democrat plantation again. You compare the status and character of the black families from the 40s 50s and 60s to todays its night and day. And that goes for the white families also. LBJ in his quest for votes started the landslide of our societal destruction he has a special place in Hell.

  4. Who is behind MLK assassination?

  5. Don’t these people have jobs?

  6. 75 thousand? More like 75.

  7. The civil rights movement was the worst thing that ever happened to black people.

  8. Democrats Arrested Martin Luther king and Rosa Parks .. gullible lefty commie bootlickers

  9. I am surprised that a leftist rag like usa today reports on this.
    The Demoncrats reject his teachings and believe whites are the cause of the problems in this country when it is really the blacks committing the vast majority of crimes.

  10. The black and white version looked more realistic.

  11. All People of Color are laughing while getting honest pay, however race baiters always need a dumb white guy whom doesnt have any friends with signage and the inspiration to get 5 minutes of being laughed at for being lonely. Go buy a bicycle and see real world, and wear a helmet please

  12. It’s been 2 years since Biden’s surrender in Afghanistan. Allowing murder of US servicemen.

  13. Save it, I live in the real world lol

  14. Look at how far we've fallen from his Dream

  15. Who cares , there is no racism , you can vote , you can do anything that others can do, but when they let sharpton speak , a known hater and racist. It just ruined it. My opinion
