Episode Details

When Martin Luther King the third visited Australia earlier this year, we sat down with him to find out how he has harnessed his father’s dream of an oasis of freedom and justice now in the 21st century.  

Martin Luther King III was ten years old when his father, the hero of the modern US civil rights movement, was assassinated for his advocacy against racism. King III has picked up his father's fight for a free and equal America, but is his father's dream still possible in 2026? 

King joins Hamish Macdonald and Kylie Morris to talk about whether the spirit of non-violent resistance can help push back against ICE, his hopes that Trump abides by the law when it comes to the next Presidential election and what he would ask  his father if he were still alive today.
