1* Fifty years ago this week, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous “I have a dream” speech to marchers in Washington, DC seeking racial equality in America. Are race relations in this country better or worse today than they were 50 years ago? Or are they about the same?

2* Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impression of Martin Luther King, Jr.?

3* Are race relations in the United States better or worse since the election of President Obama? Or are they about the same?

4* Martin Luther King, Jr. preached about a day when men and women of all races would have equal opportunity in America. Have we reached that day?
