Pt2: 60 years after Dr. King's 'dream' to address poverty and inequality

Today on Midday, we reflect on the 60th anniversary of one of the most pivotal and important events in American history; the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. August 28 is remembered as the day King ended his speech at the Lincoln Memorial with his immortal “I Have a Dream” soliloquy, an improvised conclusion to an address that galvanized the throngs of people on the mall, and catapulted King into the pantheon of iconic figures. Today's guests share their thoughts on the march's significance in the civil rights movement and what it meant for King’s fight for poor people. Two civil rights activists and faith leaders with deep ties to Baltimore, Bishop Donte Hickman and Rev. George Hopkins, join Tom to discuss the future of the civil rights movement in our community.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
