After serving in the Cabinet of President Jimmy Carter as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 1977-80 and as Secretary of Labor from 1980-82 through the end of Carter's and into the beginning of Ronald Reagan's first term, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., announced he would seek the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1984.
Other candidates who threw their hats into the ring include former Vice President Walter Mondale, U.S. Senator Gary Hart, U.S. Senator John Glenn, former Ambassador, Supreme Court Justice and Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg, U.S. Senator Lawton Chiles and Governor Jay Rockefeller.
How would this election turn out? Would "Secretary" King prevail in the nomination? If so, who would his candidate for Vice President be? If he failed to become the Democratic nominee, would the eventual winner ask him to run on their ticket?
