Fox News
The results of a University of Connecticut's Department of Public Policy poll suggests that America's college students might need to brush up on their knowledge of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Although 81 percent of the students knew that the slain civil rights leader pursued quote, "racial justice and brotherhood," most of the remainder of the students believed that Dr. King was promoting an end to slavery. Slavery in the United States was officially abolished in 1865, some 98 years before Dr. King gave his famous "I Have a Dream," speech.
