50 years later, where does the 'Dream' stand?

It was the question that was on my mind most of the day yesterday.

Fifty years to the day after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. walked out onto the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., and was gunned down by an assassin's bullet, how close have we come to achieving the "Dream?"

Yes, there is no question the country has made great strides.

But I also see continuing problems.

And worse, I see regression in some areas.

I talk about it on today's editorial page.
