Dotun presents a special programme from Washington as tens of thousands of people gather to mark the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech.
Dotun speaks to Edith Lee Payne whose image came to symbolise the dream of young America, following the 1963 March on Washington. He discusses the issues behind the protests then and now and hears from Juanita Abernathy, widow of Rev Ralph Abernathy, who was a close friend of Dr King. Folk legend Peter Yarrow from Peter, Paul and Mary gives a surprise acoustic performance of Dylan's 'Blowin' in the Wind'.
