In honor of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday earlier this month, Nimo and Jas traced the dream back to the 1960s at the height of the civil rights movement. Following the March on Washington and his famous "I Have A Dream" speech, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, authorizing the federal government to enforce desegregation and prohibit discrimination. We explored Dr. King's tremendous legacy and how that has impacted black people in the United States then and now. Press play to hear:
- Reactions to Dr. King's "The Other America" speech on housing discrimination
- A comparison of social and economic measures within the black population from the 1960s to the present day, such as homeownership rates, incarceration rates, life expectancy, poverty level, education attainment, black-owned businesses, and more
Thank you for listening and tune in every other Tuesday where Nimo and Jas keep it Four Degrees to the Streets.
