Truly fascinating. Kennedy’s prediction of 40 years was almost dead on, it happened 45 years after his estimate. King said 25 years, and pretty much within 25 years there was a candidate for the democrats (Jesse Jackson), and the only reason he didn’t get the nomination is because he was awful. In a way, it took a little longer because of the greatness of King’s legacy that Jackson was riding. King and Kennedy were unbelievably intelligent.
