DESCRIPTION:Join us in a discussion with Gary Younge, Guardian columnist and author of 
 "The Speech: The Story Behind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 
 Dream."\n\nFifty years after the March on Washington Americans are once 
 again taking to the streets to protest racism. \n\nFollowing the acquittal 
 of Trayvon Martin's killer, George Zimmerman, vigils and demonstrations 
 have sprung up all over the country, focusing attention on the upcoming 
 rally in Washington DC to mark the anniversary of the event where King 
 delivered his “I have a dream” speech. \n\nHalf a century later we have 
 a black president but its still perfectly legal to shoot a young black man 
 dead on his way home from the store because you don't like the look of him. 
 \n\nWhat are the parallels between now and then? How much has really 
 changed? How much remains the same? And what are the prospects for 
 revitalising and reinventing the civil rights movement to meet the 
 challenges of today. \n\nCome be a part of the discussion and building the 
 movement to fight racism.\n\n* * *\nGARY YOUNGE is an author, broadcaster, 
 and award-winning columnist for the Guardian, based in Chicago. He also 
 writes a monthly column for The Nation magazine and is the Alfred Knobler 
 Fellow for The Nation Institute. \n\nGary's latest book, out soon on 
 Haymarket Books, is "The Speech: The Story Behind Dr. Martin Luther King 
 Jr.’s Dream." (http://bit.ly/14D2Cby)\n\nSponsored by the Northern 
 California International Socialist Organization and Haymarket Books.\n
