Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘Promised Land’ still a dream for black University of Utah students
Civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated 50 years ago. But as America
pays tribute to him and his peaceful fight for equality, convulsions of racism continue
to wrack the country. Barbara Kufiadan, political science major, added her voice to
that of other U students in a recent article from The Salt Lake Tribune. “I don’t feel like we’ve come that far,” she said. “We’re still fighting systematic
oppression that keeps black people down.”
