Sen. Tim Scott, R.-S.C., the only African American serving in the United States Senate, wasn't invited to the event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's march on Washington, though a host of Democratic luminaries spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
“Senator Scott was not invited to speak at the event,” Greg Blair, a spokesman for the South Carolina lawmaker, said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “The senator believes today is a day to remember the extraordinary accomplishments and sacrifices of Dr. King, Congressman John Lewis, and an entire generation of black leaders. Today’s anniversary should simply serve as an opportunity to reflect upon how their actions moved our country forward in a remarkable way.”
The event organizers didn't completely exclude Republicans from the event — former President George W. Bush, for instance, received an invitation, but he couldn't attend as he is recovering from surgery — but the slate of speakers was filled with names such as former President Clinton, Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., Oprah Winfrey, Jamie Foxx and others.





President Obama was the keynote speaker of the event, of course, which is held in honor of the achievements of Dr. King and other civil rights leaders. Wouldn't it have made sense to have the first black president joined by the first black senator from South Carolina, which was a Jim Crow state when the original march on Washington took place?
The Washington Examiner contacted MLK Dream 50 to ask why Scott wasn’t invited, but didn’t hear back in time for publication.

Bernice King: ‘African Americans are still not free’ 150 years after slavery’s end

The Rev. Bernice King says that 50 years after her father, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington, his dream is still a work in progress.
“When he framed the speech he said ‘100 years later the Negro is still not free,’” King tells “Power Players.” “I would argue that 150 years later the Negro is still not free, African-Americans are still not free.”
King, who describes her late father as a prophet, says he foresaw many of the problems that society is confronting today – as well as the progress that has been made.
“He knew that if we did not deal with the pressing economic issues, if we did not finish rounding out civil rights issues, the black community, a lot of these things that are visiting us now, would be visiting us,” King says. “He also predicted that we would have an African-American president … 25 years from I think it was 1966 or ’67, so that would have been in the ‘90s. So 10 years later it actually happens.”
King says what her father would be most “troubled” by in today’s society is the “great disparities” that still exist, pointing to education and the criminal justice system as specific areas in need of improvement.
“We still have this great divide, because yes now the signs are gone, and yes we have greater relationships across different communities, but we haven't dealt with the institutionalized racism that still exists," she says.
At the time of her father’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Bernice King was only 5 months old, but she came to learn of the importance of that moment in her father’s life through her mother, who told her “it was as if the kingdom of God had come to earth that day.”
“I think what inspired people the most was the fact that they saw that they were not alone in the black community, Negro community we called it back then,” King says. “And to see the sea of white people in the audience gave them a sense of great hope.”
For more of the interview with King, including how she says the recent Trayvon Martin verdict has been a “defining moment” in the realization of her father’s dream, check out this episode of “Power Players.”

Thanks researcher. The comment section is pretty interesting. Yes, Reverend King was a gun packing registered Republican.
