The BBC Misquotes Martin Luther KIng on MLK Day

The BBC labels this 1964 video as Dr. King predicting an African American president "in less than 40 years", but in fact Dr. King relates that a more optimistic prediction of "25 years or less". Dr. King explains his optimism as being born by the pace of civil rights change that he had observed in the country over the prior two years. The 40 year quote is actually from Robert Kennedy according the interviewer.
