On today's Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with journalist and author Gary Younge about his new book, “The Speech: The Story Behind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream.” 50 years later, people of color still face racial profiling and we still see deep societal divides along race and class lines. So what would an honest conversation about race and class really sound like today? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guest:
Gary Younge, columnist for both The Guardian and the Nation, and author of The Speech: The story Behind Martin Luther King's Dream
