“I Have a Dream” - 50 Years Since Martin Luther King’s Speech

It is 50 years since the American civil rights leader Martin Luther King delivered his "I have a dream" speech and there is lot of excellent media coverage of the anniversary.

On 28 August 1963, more than 200,000 Americans joined a march on Washington demanding equal justice for all citizens under the law.
