Although Lucas is now hoping that most of the focus will be at President Donald Trump and expressed concern that the commander-in-Chief division and fears about race and immigration.

This time in Boston, King’s elder son Martin Luther King will be the third, the keynote speaker. He and other speakers are expected to touch the color communities for decades of good jobs, decent healthcare and affordable housing, which will touch the overwhelming communities.
His visit also came at a time when the Trump administration was fighting against the diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in government, schools and businesses across the country including Massachusetts.
From the inauguration of January 20, Trump has banned diversity initiatives across the Federal Government. The administration has launched an investigation into public and private colleges that it alleged that white and Asian students had discriminated against the caste-conscious admission program to address the historic discrimination of black students.
The Defense Department has temporarily removed training videos by recognizing an online biography of Taskgie Airman and Jackie Robinson. In February, Trump dismissed the Air Force General Sikiu Brown Jr., as the Champion of the Ethnic Diversity in the Military Sector, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In terms of Brown, Floyd’s murder, he spoke publicly about his experience as a black man and was the second Black General who served as chairman.
The administration has dismissed the diversified officers throughout the government, reduced the celebration of some of the months of black history, and completed the projects and contracts from planting of underprivileged communities to American schools. The change in the Trump Smithsonian Institution also aims for the funds for “dividing descriptions” and “inappropriate ideals” advanced programs with a working order.
Attempts also affect Massachusetts. If the state compliance with an education department order to give the consent of the local school system with a caste-ordeal explanation of the Civil Rights Act, the state has pressed behind the Trump administration threat to reduce funding.
Boston’s African American History Museum also announced earlier this month that the $ 500,000 federal grant received last year was canceled.
“Don’t make any mistakes, these attempts are designed to marry and destabilize the African American Public History institutions like the museum of African American history and us,” the museum wrote in a statement. “We’re all at risk of erasing.”
Martin Luther King told The Associated Press III that the attacks on diversity are slightly understandable, noting, “We cannot move forward without understanding what happened in the past.”
“This does not mean that it is about to blame people. It’s not about the combined guilt is about it is about the collective responsibility,” he said. “How do we get better? Well, we appreciate everything wherever we helped us. Diversity didn’t hurt the country.”
King said that the opponents of diversity have floated an unknown detail that inaccessible people are taking jobs from white people, when it is reality that they have been denying their opportunities they deserve for a long time.
“I don’t know if white people understand it, but black people are tolerant,” he said. “From knee-to-bed to a grassroots you have to be five times better than your white colleague and so we prepare ourselves so so it is never a matter of disqualification, it is a matter of exclusion.”
Emery Paris Jeffreis, President of Embress Boston, which is running the rally with the city, said that the fact that the incident was reminded of people that “a dream” speech “Promise Note” is “out of reach for many people”.
Paris Jeffreis says, “We are talking about democracy.” All of this is a part of democracy, Those are actually being threatened now. “
