Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass were both dedicated to bringing about an America that was colorblind, Andre Archie says, but their work is being undermined.
Obviously, this is the height of foolishness, in my opinion.

I like to point out that he worked for political candidates at a time when he himself was unable to vote. Most of the people he worked for couldn’t promise to end slavery, but he understood that you have to take small steps.
Yes, he understood what a lot of people don’t these days, which is that you work with what you have. He could have raged and cried about the unfairness of the situation, but instead he chose to use the venues available to him, and carved his place in history as a result, heavily impacting society of his time and ours.
