Today's young people constitute "a post-racial generation," according to John Perkins, the speaker at the university's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Forum. Americans should be "rejoicing" at having their first black president, he asserted, saying the United States can now possibly become the "one nation" the Founding Fathers desired.
