Is MLK’s Dream of Social Justice Actually Possible?

It might sound odd or indefensible to claim that Martin Luther King Jr.'s wonderful speech known as "I Have a Dream" was determined by MLK to be more of a nightmare than a dream of peace and tranquility. In fact, if you think about it, the phrase "the American dream" refers not to racial or social justice, but striking it rich. Indeed, American values (the dark ones) dashed King's buoyant optimism present when he wrote about his dream, and he knew this before he died. Will social justice and racial integration ever be realized? Your guess is as good as mine.
