Engagement with Dr King often begins and ends with his “I Have A Dream Speech” and even though Britain seems to bring him out at all possible times, we actually know very little about him.
In this episode we will look at two of his visits to the UK in 1961 and 1964. His activism balanced on his firm beliefs in equality across all lines. We will discuss who he spoke to and met and the transnational nature of his activism and the wider US Civil Rights Movement.
