MLK's Speech Been Realized?

Between the years of 1980 and 2004, different minority groups have increased with the number of labor workers. In 1980 the total number of African American workers in the labor force was 61 percent. By 2004 it reached 63.8 percent. Also in 2004 the female african american labor force employment raised from 53 percent to 64 percent. In general the labor force employee number as risen, but even if it fell it was only by .5 percent
To help with this problem i think that Labor Forces should let go of the past their ancestors left behind and move on. Also according to MLK's speech he wanted everyone to be equal, and recent statistics show that the number of unemployed african americans in 1980 was 1,553 and by 2004 it rose to 1,729. Unemployed hispanics in 1980 was 620 and that rose as well to 1,342.
