CNN ran Martin Luther King's immortal 1963 speech on the Washington Mall -- known as the "I Have a Dream" speech -- in its entirety today, and it really is something to see again.

Meanwhile, a CNN poll finds that more than two-thirds of black Americans consider King's vision now fulfilled with Barack Obama's election.

No doubt, every white Republican on the planet (see esp. Bill Bennett) will now wave that poll in our faces to claim that racism has been officially overcome.
