Martin Luther King's dream was for the equality of the races. In terms of labor, this is not yet true. Blacks comprise 13% of the population, but only make up 10.7% of the employed workforce. That alone is not so bad, but the percentage of African Americans in management positions is only 5.9%, and only 3.2% are CEO's. Black people have come very far since the 1960's, but they still have a ways to go in terms of labor.
