Has Martin Luther King's Dream Been Realised?
http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/has-martin-luther-kings-dream-been-realised/
Filmed at the Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler's Wells Theatre on 28th August 2013.
This month sees the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech. On 28 August 1963, civil rights campaigners marched on Washington to secure equality before the law. Today, America's first black president sits in the White House, yet more African-Americans are on probation, parole or in prison than there were slaves in 1850. In the UK, 45% of young black people are unemployed as opposed to 20% of young whites. Meanwhile support for European far right organisations like Golden Dawn is growing.
On the anniversary of his seminal speech, Versus brought together five global voices to discuss Dr. King's legacy. To what extent has his dream been realised? Are Muslims now the new targets of racism post-9/11? And will racism still be blighting us in 50 years' time?
