Nothing is exactly the same, but there are parallels. The civil rights movement was successful - there may be more to do.

But MLK led, he persisted, he helped make major leaps forward - he knew he was on the edge of change and accepted the reality he lived in at the moment. He is a good example for making progress. He did not post on DU about how horrid Johnson was, he went out there and did what was best to do at that time.

Giving up on Obama over this Warren thing is something King would never have done. Something that petty and dumb and just plan foot-stamping ill tempered was beyond him. Those who operate that way will meet with no success.
