Beyond the Dream

Dr. King’s influence on America was broader than the “I Have a Dream” speech. In part one, Bob, Buster & Dr. Butler explain why Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail was much more important than the Dream.

The Lasting Legacy of Dr. King

Bob, Buster & Dr. Butler examine the legacy of Dr. King, and how in some ways, that legacy has been misinterpreted. They also wonder what Dr. King would make of black media figures and the hip hop culture.

Keeping the Legacy Alive

Bob, Buster & Dr. Butler wonder why no one has come forth as a leader for the black community since Dr. King’s death. They also discuss how to act in the spirit of Dr. King, and how to counteract some of the negative images of African-americans on television & in the media.
