    He'd believe you, though he'd think you were a drunken hippie.

    He might. But, since that is not what he was referring to

    when he said, "I have a dream!" Then it'd depend on just

    when, exactly, you met him.

    For example, if you'd met in ' 67, he might have felt that

    a Vietmanese man should be President. Why? Because

    it was then that he nominated Buddhist monk Thich Nhat

    Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize.

    What he said about him was: "Thich Naht Hanh is a holy

    man, for he is humble and devout. He is a scholar of im-

    mense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace, if applied,

    would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brother-

    hood, to humanity."

    I think he did believe someday it would happen. To bad he's not here to see it.

    Absolutely. If he didn't have that hope, I don't think he would have done what he did for us.
