King's work ethic

As we celebrate Martin Luther King's birthday, let us recall the speech he is most well known for: "I have a dream". His dream was for freedom and equality. There was never a mention of separation, free rides, or favoritism - just equal rights. If he had lived, would he re-think his dream?  King had no free rides. He skipped ninth grade and, because of his college entrance exam scores in his junior year of high school, skipped his last year of high school and went directly to Morehouse College on a scholarship he'd earned. He was 15 when he started college. No-one handed that man anything.
