Trump meets Martin Luther King III
Amid the controversy that is currently rocking the inauguration of Donald Trump, more than 30 members of Congress will boycott Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday, as believes still rages from his uncomplimentary remarks about rights icon and congressman John Lewis. Trump who is web in some other controversial spots, upgraded his profile of controversy when he lashed out on the last standing member of the civil rights movement that marches in the 1963 Washington protest led by Martin Luther King.
Similarly, in a surprised visitation, Martin Luther King III, the oldest child of Martin Luther King Jr, arrived at Trump Tower in New York to meet the president-elect. This came barely 48hour after president-elect Trump called congressman John Lewis "All Talk" no action man who had barely focused on his district which is now ridden with crimes and more poverty level.
In a conversation which lasted for over 50minutes, King III who was seen moving out of the Trump mansion alongside William Wachtel, a New York lawyer hinted a fair and positive argument with president-elect Trump whom they all agreed seems to be in line with their conversation as at the time of discussion.
“President-elect Trump has committed to working with us,” Wachtel said. “This president may well” be in adherence with the spirit of the Voting Rights Act “and once again make it easy for all Americans to vote”. In 2013, a supreme court decision struck down key elements of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, a central achievement of the civil rights movement designed to protect minority voters.
According to Martin Luther King III, the meeting was anything but constructive, saying that it has become imperative for the people of America to move on despite the odds that prevaricated the election ab initio. “We have got to move forward,” he said.
When confronted with the issue raging between rights icon and president-elect, King III hinted a more fair contribution as he tried to balance the odds. “Things get said on both sides in the heat of emotion. And at some point in this nation we’ve got to move forward.” He added that he would “continue to evaluate”
“I believe we have to consistently engage with pressure, public pressure,” King said. “It doesn’t happen automatically, my father and his team understood that, did that.
“I think my father would be very concerned about the 50 to 60 million people living in poverty. It’s insanity that we have poor people in this nation, it’s unacceptable. We need to be talking about how to clothe people, how do we feed people.”
