"October marks Black History Month, an incredible opportunity for us to commemorate the history of Black communities and celebrate the immense contribution that people of African, Arab, Asian and Caribbean descent have made to humanity. This year marks the 50 year anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream...” speech that was made during the march on Washington protest on 28 August 1963. Dr. King’s famous words: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” continue to inspire a generation just as they did five decades ago. Martin Luther King is rightly recognised as one of the leading figures of Black history across the world, and the question that many have asked is; what would he make of today’s society? What would he say if he made a speech today at a rally in Washington in the United States or even outside Downing Street in Britain?
